Default to NOT add custom fields to existing forms

edited Dec 3, 2019 11:55AM in SuiteCloud / Customization 2 comments

I thought functionality of NetSuite behaved this way but it seems not.

I am adding some custom fields  to transaction forms which I only want to display on a single form of type Sale, however after I create it I notice it is checked for display on ALL forms of that type. Shouldn't the default be 'OFF'? I thought the purpose of the button "Apply to Forms" was to force the default to 'ON' for that specific field. It's a real pain to have to go through every transaction form of type Sale and uncheck every custom field...

Am I missing some preference setting?

Howdy, Stranger!
