Transform body with features based on shape binder

Hello, everybody.
In link branch based on 0.19, when we create a sketch (master sketch) which will be used later to create features in other bodies, then these bodies could be transformed with no problem.
with version based on 0.20, the transformed bodies, come back to their original position after transformation. Reporting this to FreeCAD forum, give me an answer that the shape binder property "relative" should be set to "false".

In master branch, creating a body feature based on a master sketch, should manually create a shape binder. Then the problem of transformation could be solved by setting the "relative" property to "true".

In Realthunder branch (daily), the shape binder is imported automatically, and that is a good idea I think. Because it makes it easier and time saving. But with version based on 0.20, the "relative" property is set by default to "true" (the same as version based on 0.19 15-10-2021 but without transforming problem) and transforming the body could not be done. So to be more effective and user-friendly, I think it should be set by default to "false".

For your usecase fasse is better but there are many usecases were true is better like hole alignment, why should we favor this usecase?

In my case, creating a master sketch to use for padding many plates that will be placed on each other to form an injection mold.
