On the standard WP Post, it is possible in the settings (Writing) to choose a default Category other than "Uncategorized". Is there a way to do this for a custom post type as well. So far, I haven't found a setting for this.

Thanks,

David McLeod

Dear David ,

You are right, there isn't such a built-in feature within Types plugin, and it is already in our feature list:

I suggest you add your vote on it:
