Is it possible to prevent a caesura from breaking up multi measure rests?

This is in popular music with predictable 8 measure phrases so it is unnecessary to see the the 8 measure rest broken up for those who aren’t playing. They will easily understand by ear…

I have version 5.1.51.2153 (Aug 6 2024), can’t go much higher due to OS limitations.

No, a caesura will always cause a multi-bar rest to be broken.
