Changing the Default Button characteristics
I'm trying to change the default button characteristics, but nothing is changing.
I followed these instructions from an older article: If you customize the look of a button and want those same attributes to apply to all new buttons in the same project, right-click the button and choose Set as Default Button.
But when I try to make a new button, my only options are the standard button styles, and all of the button states are the standard layout. I don't see any change. Does anyone else have luck changing the default button?

Hi JeffreyCaswell​ are you expecting the changes to propagate through an existing project? If so, I'm afraid that is not how it works. When you set the element to be the default, it would mean any future element would have those characteristics. If you are looking to change the style of a button throughout an existing project, you would need to use the format painter (which does colour, states, font etc, but not shape).
Hi JeffreyCaswell,
Thanks for reaching out!
Are you comfortable sharing a copy of your file or screen recording of the steps you're taking? You can upload those here or privately in a case, and may give our team a better idea of what the next steps are. Additionally, if you're seeing this with multiple files, you may also want to try a Storyline repair.
I opened a new project and it still didn't work.
