FTM4SS - MER - Validation of Interact application header

Hello,
regarding the creation of XML messages on the FTM4SS - MER (version 3.2.4.13), the application appears to validate the messages even if the user does not insert the Message References of the message in the InterAct Header sections (see attachments Interact_ApplicationHeader.jpg) . This creates confusion for the business because if the message is sent to the application without having defined the Message References such message will get a NAK error from FTM or from Swift, As i can show you with the attachment MessageReferenceMandatory.jpg, the MessageReference is a mandatory field in XML messages that want the Interact Application Header. Therefore we believe that validation should take into account if the field 'InterAct application header message reference (Request)' is not valued. Can you kindly provide to release a modification of the MER ear to improve the applications?
