Defaults¶

What are Defaults? They are the the default text that fills in titles and text in objects such as Rows, Choices, and Addons.

In defaults, you can write in default text that you want the choices and rows to be filled with when created.

To open the Defaults menu, go to the Sidebar → Open Features → Manage Defaults. There you will see this screen:

Now you can decide what you want the default text for newly created Rows, Choices, Addons, Requirements, and Points are. I usually make them blank, but what you do with them is up to you.

Change IDs to Titles¶

You'll notice something that doesn't quite belong in this section, the Change IDs to Titles button.

What does it do? Well the Creator says:

Clicking this will change the id of all of the choices and rows where the title is longer than 2 letters, or the default title, into the title, which can make it easier to manage on larger projects with large amounts of requirements being used.

Essentially, rather than deciding an ID format for yourself, it automatically changes all objects' IDs to that of their title. I would not recommend doing this, for three reasons:

1. It may mess up previous logic.
2. You have to keep reapplying this over and over, and before you apply any requirements, so that requirements are kept.
3. There may be ID clashes if more than one object has the same name.

Instead, you should ascribe a personal ID format.
