Inserting an existing authorized subject heading while modifying a record

Good day!

I'd like to inquire about the behavior while cataloging in Modify record window. If I insert an existing authorized subject heading, shouldn't it just import the Main entry? The problem is, when I search the authorized subject heading and insert it in the record, it also adds a bunch of other details from the authority record, like See & See Also entries. Then when I try to save, it will also include the references in validation, and will ask me whether to create new authority records pertaining to the item when in fact they should just be See & See Also references for the subject of the item.
