Diagonal reduction conjecture for strong commutativity preservers of incidence algebras

Let XX be a finite connected poset, let I(X,K)I(X,K) be its incidence algebra over KK, and let D(X,K)D(X,K) denote the diagonal subalgebra. A map θ:I(X,K)I(X,K)\theta:I(X,K)\to I(X,K) is a strong commutativity preserver if it preserves commutativity in both directions, and a map of shift type is a map SαS_\alpha associated with a suitable map α:I(X,K)D(X,K)\alpha:I(X,K)\to D(X,K). Let φ:I(X,K)I(X,K)\varphi:I(X,K)\to I(X,K) be a bijective strong commutativity preserver. Diagonal reduction conjecture. There exist a bijective strong commutativity preserver of shift type SαS_\alpha and an inner automorphism ψ\psi of I(X,K)I(X,K) such that

ψSαφ\psi\circ S_\alpha\circ\varphi

preserves D(X,K)D(X,K). This would extend the preceding two-element example to arbitrary finite connected posets, reducing the study of strong commutativity preservers to those preserving the diagonal subalgebra; whether this reduction always holds is left open in the source.
