I'm sorry for the late reply! In fact, this is not a bug, but a design problem that can easily be misleading. "New Disk From Configuration" actually means the importing the saved configuration to the "Create New Disk" wizard dialog. At express mode the dialog only has the basic settings and simple image settings, then only these settings are imported from the configuration file, other ramdisk settings uses the dialog default values instead of values from the configuration file.

To eliminate this misleading problem, a workaround we considered is to force the advanced mode when importing the configuration file.

Thank you for pointing out this issue!
