Create Thru Pin with BEGIN LAYER/END LAYER names using SKILL

Question

Hello, 
 I am trying to make a Thru Pin using SKILL. The problem that I encountered is that Thru Pins made manually in Padstack Editor have these layers' names: 
 
 while, when I am making them automatically via script, I am only able to put there TOP and BOTTOM instead of BEGIN LAYER and END LAYER: 
 
 I would like to keep padstacks made manually and via script consistent, but I can't because I get such warnings: 
 *WARNING* (axlDBCreatePadStack): No match for subclass name - "PIN/END_LAYER" 
 *WARNING* (axlDBCreatePadStack): No match for subclass name - "PIN/BEGIN_LAYER" 
 
 Is there any way to use make_axlPadstackPad function with layers' names corresponding to how they are set in Padstack Editor? 
 If not, do padstacks prepared in two different ways (with different layers' names) could cause any issues while using them on the same board?

Hello revida marcos , If you define a padstack from padstack editor where the design layer names comes as "BEGIN Layer" and "END Layer". Now once you placed a symbol having this padstack in board and you invoke padstack editor from the brd file, it will show the Layer Name same as your cross-section stackup layer name. So there will be no discepency after the symbols/pads are used in board.
