How to default 'Update thank-you date' checkbox to 'On' ?
January 07, 2014, 11:44:03 am
When printing a thank you letter the checkbox "Update thank-you dates for these contributions" defaults to 'Off'.  That doesn't seem at all logical - if you are printing thank you letters why not update the date?  My user would much prefer to have this default to 'On'.  Anybody have an idea how to do this?

Also, should this be a permanent change?

I agree ON would be a better default.

A programmer could alter the default using a Drupal module using 'hooks'.  However, I agree customization should not be necessary because "on" is a better default.

I have filed an issue here: http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-14054 and the team will review the request

You're welcome. If you don't want to wait for 4.5 you can apply the patch yourself: https://github.com/civicrm/civicrm-core/pull/2304.diff
