Good decision.

It is ok, as long as the selectable responses are _plural_ (i.e. Current 
phases and  Next phases). The current situation (question: Which phases, 
selectable responses: Current phase or Next phase) is imho very 
confusing. Perhaps "Current 4 phases" and "Next 4 phases" would be the 
best expression.
