Cannot Connect Integer Primitive to Multiple Input Types.

I am running ComfyUI on an Ubuntu headless server. my client is running Win10 22H2. when I attempt to connect an integer primitive to several inputs on an advanced ksampler, it refuses to connect to both inputs simultaneously. I would like the step count and the end steps to be the same value, but the UI is not letting me connect the node to both simultaneously. The attached image shows what I would like to do, if I release my left mouse button to connect the nodes, it doesn't let me. this also happens with several other types of connections that I would like to make, such as the step count of one ksampler and the starting step of a second ksampler.
