Number of column stirrups

Hello. In our column application drawings, if the number of stirrups required in our columns are all uniform, that is, if our floor height is 3 m, do we have the option to equalize the number of stirrups to be placed at 3 meters for all columns for the relevant floor and perform analysis? In other words, in the same floor, values such as 35 stirrups in some columns and 30 stirrups appear in the same floor, which causes difficulties in getting it done by the masters during the manufacturing phase. masters go to a single gauge and make either less or more stirrups. I know maybe it can be said that since the column sizes are different, the number of stirrups may change due to span, vertical load etc., but it is very difficult to do this in practice. Is there such an option to fix the number of column stirrups by floor?
 
My idea is After Analysis, you can go to Analysis and design/reinforced concrete/column section from the top menu and set it according to the standard you want from there. But in my personal opinion, as someone who is also a construction site worker, a project is not prepared according to the master's request. Masters want to take it easy for everything. The control engineer is obliged to enforce whatever is in the project. While you bring the reinforcements to a certain standard, you will have to put extra stirrups on some columns to stay on the safe side, which affects the cost.
 
Number of stirrups and crossties in columns; It depends on the column dimensions, the design shear force the column receives, the column height and the limitations given in the regulation. If the column height and column dimensions are the same and the system works at minimum, the number of stirrups used will be the same in all columns. Apart from that, in the column reinforced concrete dialog, you can choose to equalize the column with the least spacing and the largest diameter, by changing the stirrup diameter and spacing yourself. This causes you to move away from the economy, as Technicalman wrote.
