How to set default line type as curved

Please yes. In general, if you select a type, perhaps after twice or three times it should stay there. This used to actually work, I don’t remember having to always do this, unless the default has changed to angled?

same problem for me 

I would like to see connection line preferences remembered at the user level:

It would be great to have line preferences saved at a level selectable by the user:

• User level
• Board level
• Frame level (a selectable option available at a board level)

Personally I want line connectors to be remembered at a Frame level. I have multiple frames on a board and they’re styled appropriately to the content.

Any traction on this? irritating when I’ve multiple frames that require different line types for the application to continuously change them

Upvote. Was just about to submit an idea.

i agree! we need to set default shape, arrow, and line styles!

I’m trying to create a tree and it’s a real pain to have to keep selecting all the arrows I’ve added and changing the type to curved
Preference wouldi be great or at the very least default to the last used type

Me too. Was just about to ask a question abut this. Default preferences should be able to be saved, or at least, whatever was done previously should be the default until further change.

I found a decent workaround if you want all the same type:  After you’ve added a bunch of lines where you ignore the default type, you can do this:

• select all.
• filter just for “Connection Line” types from the floating toolbar.
• change to the desired type.

I agree there should be a way to set the default, but this workaround had made it a bit less tedioius.

Hi @hoff 

Thanks for sharing that workaround! It’s a great tip for making the process less tedious when dealing with multiple connection lines. I’m sure this will be helpful for others who are looking for a way to streamline their workflow.

Same. The workaround above is fine when preparing a board to a plan, but I also use miro to explore a topic, alone or together. In that case it’s jarring to have the lines looking wrong or having to perform additional operations with each addition.  ChatGPT tells me I can just drop down the menu and click “Set As Default Style” so I wonder whether this used to be a feature before. For me the minimum viable feature is to set it at the board level. Next for me would be to let users have a default for new boards, and finally to be able to have frames override the default.

Heading over to the idea to give it an upvote.

this is so obvious - have they lost the plot at Miro?

haha! Spend some time on atlassian’s own Jira board, e.g. JRASERVER-15306. A ticket from 2008 that I gave up on in 2015. There are some cool variations on how to say “as a user, this is frustrating” in its comment thread, too.
