Seizure classification

When inputting and epileptic seizure it gives the options to select 'Simple Partial', 'Complex Partial', 'Focal Type 1' and 'Focal Type 2'.
In 2017 the International League Against Epilepsy changed the classification terminology of seizures. 'Simple Partial' became 'Focal Aware' and 'Complex Partial' became 'Focal Impaired Awareness'.

Having options to input 'Partial' and 'Focal' could cause confusion. Could the options be updated in line with current terminology?

Thanks.
