Is there a way to set the duration of a new object you create to the max timeline duration?
Hi y'all, the question may seem complex but it's really simple.
(I'm starting with SL, so please, bear with me :P)
When I create a new object (shape, text... anything) the duration is set to 5 seconds in the general timeline of that layer (or base layer in fact).
The solution (I've found) is as trivial as tedious and straightforward as it's to drag the bar to the max duration of said layer (or base layer) and extend its duration to the desired time. This is kind of tedious to do, is there any workaround to save time on this?
Thanks to everyone in advance.
PD: I've added the test file so you can see what I mean. (Try creating an object of any kind)

You can right-click the object on the timeline, and choose show until end, which means the object will have a timeline as long as the layer, even if it changes. Or you can choose set time, nad give the object a specific time, which doesn’t necessarily change with the layer timeline.
