Target framework cannot be set conditionally #764

For most settings in the project properties, SharpDevelop offers a little button to indicate whether the setting is supposed to be globally valid, or specific to the platform, or specific to the configuration.

For the target platform setting, however, this button is missing, apparently at least since SharpDevelop 4.4. It still used to be there in SharpDevelop 3, as evidenced by a screenshot in an older blogpost.

As it stands, it is not possible to set up a project to target different frameworks/framework versions by simply switching the configuration. Can this option be added again?

(I had asked about this in the forum, but as there hasn't been any response in several months, I suppose this bug tracker is the best way to ask about the issue.)
