I think what is being said is that, starting with 11.5.1, the dropdown fields (certificate, key, chain) and passphrase field are ONLY used to populate the text field below the Add/Replace buttons. The values shown in those dropdown fields aren't significant in and of themselves - the ONLY value that matters is what's in the text field. Correct?

 

If so, suggestion would be to simply leave the dropdowns blank (initially) and label the text field something forceful, like "Currently Deployed Certificate/Key/Chain" right next to the field ... it did cause me momentary palpitations that every single client SSL profile had the wrong cert/key (well, all but one :-).
