Users are allowed to set connection type (straight line, curved, etc.) default for their account.


Currently, users who prefer a type (I prefer curved) spend a lot of time changing connectors to their default type. I love this product, and I wish this was changed. ​​​​​​​

yes.  customize on a board, user, or even frame level

Need this! It really slows me down to change lines to curved every time. There should be a preference or it should just remember based on the last line you created


Fully agree. Please make this change… it’ll save a ton of work.


Yes please.  My backlog, though any of the top three would be an MVP, would be

  • to be able to “Set As Default Style” on connectors at the board level
  • to be able to set a default connector style in the user profile for new boards
  • a context menu “reapply last style” that works on at least connectors
  • to be able to override default connector style on a per-frame basis

I am shocked this isn’t already a standard feature.

Me too!!!!!!!!!!


Lack of this feature is the single largest reason I hesitate to use Miro. Huge obstruction to the mind mapping process.


Upvote!


The need to constantly change arrow types is extremely annoying. My main use case for Miro is brainstorming and creating mind maps, and this breaks my flow. 


Any updates on the matter?


Please! This is incredibly frustrating. It’s a major hinderance to my workflow. I don’t remember having to do this back in the first half of the 2020s, so I wonder whether an update broke this? Whatever the case, it makes me want to pull my hair out.

As a user, I would like to chose my connector type and have the connector type persist until I change the connector type again.

Not useful: Changing the connector type in bulk using ‘select all’. I want the connector be the type I want as I am working.
