Netlisting from Capture to PCB Editor Changes Differential Pairs in PCB Editor

My toolset is OrCAD PCB Designer Professional 17.4 S011.

I am having an issue where when I import a netlist into PCB Editor from Capture, it changes a few of the differential pairs that I have configured in the Constraint Manager. For some of the differential pairs it renames them, and for others it completely removes the differential pair. Each time I make an adjustment to the schematic then netlist, I have to go back to constraint manager to re-configure these differential pairs.

Is there any setting or adjustment that I can make that will not permit the Capture netlist to adjust my differential pairs in PCB Editor after importing the netlist?

Note: This is shown in 16.6 not sure if it works this way in later versions:
When creating a netlist and I don't want the pcb constraints over written I use the nestlist - Ignore Electrical constraints option.
