"Set as Default Button" not keeping all state changes

Hi again, seems this behaviour is still unchanged. One of those changes that will improve Quality of Life for developers immensely is if the Default Button feature would store the attributes of each state.

That seems a bit long winded to format a button that you want to keep consistent throughout a title. It also means you have to have one already created to copy it from. Why would 'set as default' NOT duplicate everything you have set on the button? What use is it to only save some things. then default others back to system?

Should this not be a standard function?

The section in the article you have linked "Changing the Default Button Characteristics" talks about attributes, but makes no mention of it not actually copying states... so you would assume a state is an attribute of the button.

To be honest, all I can see it duplicating is the font used and the 'normal state'. So why have the option at all? I cant be the only one finding it frustrating that I can't set a default and it be as I originally created!

Hi, Still seeing this issue here. 

Seems totally redundant to have a set as default button if it doesn't save the states. We have a very strict brand guide (as most companies do) and I can't use different shades of our colours for buttons. 

Really would love this ability, or the ability to save full custom buttons to a library. 

This format painter process is still really frustrating and slow. 

Yes Joe, seems like Articulate Globate LLC is chasing those hot new revenue streams elsewhere. Storyline 360 has seen some improvement in its output, but long-standing bugs and problems with the editor are left unresolved. Also, there is a lot of very basic editing tools that are left in the dust, and new features which will help speed up development with the tool are not pursued. Instead of better video editing, audio editing, critically needed improvements to the quality of life for timeline editing, we get... 360° pictures. yay. I used it 0 times so far. Articulate used to be the cool guys. Now we are just cows to milk for recurring revenue, and Storyline 360 is left to flounder  :(

Hi Kathryn!

This saves the attributes you've set for the button, but not the states. I would utilize the format painter for that.

Hi Kathryn!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts - you made me second guess my response.

This led to finding an issue that has been reported to our QA Team for this same thing.

I will add this thread for both user awareness and so that I can update when applicable.

Thank you for this post! I have experienced the same issue - I customize a button, including the various states, click Set as Default Button, and then try to use the button tool to insert a new button showing the customized characteristics.

The new button, however, does not maintain the new characteristics for the custom states. Would appreciate a fix for this, thanks!

Hi Maidie!

By replying you should now be subscribed to the thread so that you will receive notification of any update on this. At this time, it is still in the hands of our QA Team.

I have this same issue, and it is driving me crazy! Has there been any update at all?

Hi Tricia!

I do not have an update to provide at this time. It is still in the hands of our QA Team.
