# Default Settings

 * Is there a way to change the default settings when creating new Post Types AND
   Taxonomy?
   Frustrating having to disable comments, set hierarchy, REST API, etc..
   EVERY time I have to create numerous Post Types, Cats and Tags. And I forget 
   one it’s even a bigger problem. Can’t we set ‘our’ default settings (maybe even
   allow us to have templates)?
 * Also as a UI Tweak:
   You have 3 sections on the admin page, that are collapsible..
   If we collapse them, how about they stay collapsed after we click save instead
   of expanding them ALL again? Limit all of the scrolling one has to do just to
   get to bottom of the page to assign taxonomy to posts (which after creation) 
   is probably the reason a person is back editing.. why have to scroll the whole
   page.. EVERY TIME for every taxonomy is tiring?

 * Hi [@bernardberry646](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bernardberry646/)
 * As is, as you’ve noted, we don’t really have any “custom defaults” type settings
   available and it’s definitely an interesting idea worth exploring as a possible
   enhancement in the future. Out of the box, we try to follow WordPress’ default
   parameter for the settings, though we have a couple that aren’t (like setting
   REST API support to true).
 * That said, if you’re registering a lot of content types that will share many 
   of the same settings, then a bit of an accidental trick that I know CPTUI has
   would be to register a post type, and then rename without using the “migrate 
   posts” checkbox. It ends up duplicating with the new slug an you could tweak 
   from there. Labels could use the link we provide to auto-populate afterwards.
   I believe the same should be true for taxonomies as well, just don’t check to
   migrate the terms.
 * I know we have a “back to top” link request/open issue already at [https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui/issues/916](https://github.com/WebDevStudios/custom-post-type-ui/issues/916)
 * I have opened enhancement issues at the links below for us to add in user defaults
   of some sort as well as the remembering collapsable state. There’s never really
   been too much demand for the latter because in a lot of ways CPTUI is “set it
   and forget it” once configured, but I know the idea of remembering collapsed 
   state has come to my own mind at times.
