Hi Krzysztof
After internal discussions, we determined that Bluetooth Controllers 
typically operate in standalone mode and are only configured for sharing 
upon customer-specific customization. Consequently, we have decided to 
remove this property. Please be advised that the third patch will be 
updated accordingly at a later date
