Camera background images not visible unless camera eyeball is open in outliner AND Show in viewport is ticked in properties

Camera background images not visible unless camera eyeball is open in outliner AND Show in viewport is ticked in properties. I have about 8 cameras hovering around my project with reference background images and the images don’t show unless the eyeball icon button is active in outliner AND the camera property Visibility -> Show in viewport is checked. Makes for a cluttered 3d viewport.
