The default group styles in the preferences are greyed out and I’m not able to change anything. Is this by design or a bug? I also tried changing from the settings xml but they are sticking to their values. Dynamo version 2.19.3 [image]

Default group styles cannot be edited - even if you remove them from existence via some very dodgy API use (which I think has since been removed) they don’t actually go away, and come back in this UI the next time you start Dynamo.

I see, do you know what the reasoning behind this is?

I do not, but I do think it would be good to submit a wishlist item to the roadmap as this seems like something that could be possible. Roadmap - Dynamo BIM Safe Harbor Statement Roadmaps are plans, not promises. We’re as excited as you to see new functionality make it into the product…

not sure if it has been documented before, but I have created a wishlist item for the group styles: Custom Dynamo Group Style settings opened 12:53PM - 20 Jun 24 UTC (UTC) [Thomas84] Thomas84 …

From what I have seen, if you leave the standard ones in the customized styles should stick. The default ones always come back though. Are you seeing different behavior? FYI @solamour

We have the default styles there intentionally to ensure a degree of consistency for all users who do not wish to create their own. This surfaces by default in the “Group Styles” menu item for each Group. We’re open to revisiting the idea of ensuring these default Group styles persist. If you are s…

yes it is reproducible, just try to use the group style settings in the DynamoSettings.xml file provided on GitHub. If you want to keep the default group style for normal users, a separate option in the dynamosettings.xml would be useful <DefaultGroupStyleItems>true</DefaultGroupStyleItems> Havin…

Hi @solamour , @Thomas3 , I’ve recently also been looking into standardising our Dynamo template with our entire organisation, for which I would also like to set and have others easily import these organisational settings instead of the standard Dynamo ones. I couldn’t find any other topic talking…

@Daan if using Revit, please refer to this thread: Revit 2024: Trouble deploying Revit with the Dynamo Settings :slight_smile: If using AutoCAD, we don’t have this set-up yet I believe. Can you confirm here @zachri.jensen ?

If you’re referring to setting up a deployment, then yes, there should be the same mechanism on manage.autodesk.com for creating Civil 3D deployments.

Hi @solamour , @zachri.jensen , Thanks for the quick responses, very interesting! Didn’t know that at the initial Revit/Civil setup you could already enforce Dynamo settings as well. Is it also possible to, when an user has already installed these software(s) on their system, to update the standar…
