Assigning recommenders to multiple schools through School Links

Anyone have experience with School Links? My daughter’s school uses it, and it seems to add extra steps to everything, when the Common App alone would be so much easier. She figured out how to invite teachers to submit recommendations, which have been uploaded to the Common App (via School Links) for her Early Decision school. All good there. We assumed that once a recommendation entered the Common App for one school, it would appear in a drop-down that she could assign to all her other schools’ apps. But this is not the case. Do kids seriously need to request the rec again from scratch for each individual school’s app through School Links? Or are we missing something? If ED doesn’t work out she has ten schools to apply to, which will get annoying for teachers if they have to send a rec from scratch each time. Any insight is appreciated!
