Master page properties "header from top" and "footer from bottom" should be able to take value from variable or script

In RPE Studio 6.0.6, master page "header from top" and "footer from bottom" properties cannot be variables, unlike top margin for example. We should be able to use external variables to specify these values, or why not, a script.
