When alter table is selected I'd like the form to open up without any column selected. In my case the first column is generally an autoinc and I have to remember to alter from integer, uncheck generated, uncheck nullable and I often forget. Having to set everything would be better for me, don't know what others take on it would be.

Isn't that what "Reset Properties" is for? I think, having just tried
it to see what you are talking about, that it works the best way right
now. You can either reset everything to start over, or you can click on
an existing column that you want to copy and then just rename and add.
Makes creating repeats very quick, while giving you the reset if you
want it.

I am sure that either the button has just sneaked onto the dialog this morning or its been there a long time and I just haven't seen it

Personally I suspect the former, but whichever - thank you.
