At the global Webform settings (admin/settings/webform), within the "Advanced options" fieldset, we have a setting for the default export format (Delimited text or Microsoft Excel). When the submission results of a certain Webform node will be downloaded (at node/[NID]/webform-results/download), that default setting for the export format will be pre-selected. Fine.

It would be nice if we could have the same behaviour for the select keys (Full, human-readable options (values) or Short, raw options (keys)). Currently, this must be set on each node individually because there is no default setting. On my sites I usually only need keys rather than values, so I have to change the hardcoded default "values" to "keys" every time before exporting.

Thus I am asking if we can have a default setting for those select keys. Thanks.

Yes, sounds like a good idea to me. Can you look into providing a patch?

So what about considering it for 7.x-4.x?

Well, it's been 2 years with no patch, so unless you're going to provide (or sponsor) one, I don't see this happening. Let's leave this active for a while to see if it grows a patch. :)

Just wondering if a cookie might be used here, rather than a session which expires. Save the user's own preference locally. What issues might there be?

Closing for lack of activity. If lot's of people want this, someone should write a patch and re-open this issue.

If this were to go forward, I think we'd want some way to set global defaults for all the download settings in one place. Sounds like a bit of a mess.
