Greetings, My humble apology, however this question is outside the scope for AutoPIPE TSG. Please see WIKI here for what is TSG. We should not be commenting on actual construction / installation questions. Regardless, your understanding of "release for hanger selection" is correct. As mentioned in AutoPIPE help: Release for hanger selection: An anchor may be released in any direction for the gravity load case during the hanger design process. This allows a hanger near the anchor to be designed such that the hanger supports the gravity load. For example, this approach is often used to ensure that nozzles are relieved of any gravity loads. With that said, as an unofficial comment, I have personally installed many of springs hangers. I can tell you that at times of installation one may need to adjust the spring in order to cut the bands, pull the blocks, and make the final adjustment as needed.
