I'd like to be able to choose the default settings in Parcel Drafter. Specifically, I'd like to change the Direction or Angle Type to Quadrant Bearing and the Direction or Angle Units to Degrees Minutes Seconds. The majority of our legal descriptions match that set up, so it's preferable to have them as the default instead of what currently shows up.

I'd also like the change the default behavior that copies the previous bearing entered into the next line automatically. In most of our cases, the bearing is going to be different each time. It would be preferable for the user to be able to hit tab and go directly from the previous radius box into the new line's bearing box instead of copying the bearing and jumping the cursor to the length field.

Other users may prefer that functionality by default, so it would be great if you could choose what the best default is for your needs.

You could probably go in an make that change in the widget code pretty easily but you then have to remember to propagate it to every new version of WAB as you upgrade your apps which is a pain. And its only an option if you're using WAB Developer Edition anyways.

This would be nice if they allowed us to change the default values.
