Show in drop downs on as default

[skeabletta]

Hello,

I wanted to add multiple new object types to a openBIS and I feel like it should be the standard that “Show in drop downs” is turned on by default, or at least there should be an option (Environment variable/admin ui/…) to set the default values for “Show in drop downs”, “Enable Storage”,…

Is there a way to do this declaratively or is clicking it interactive really the only way?

Hi,

the reason why this is not enabled by default is because of multi-group instances.
While it would make sense to have all new objects types enabled by default in a single-group instance, this is not the case for multi-group instances, where each group can choose to use different object types.
