Each type of transformation contains default properties that can be changed by editing the properties of the folder node for that type of transformation. When a column is added to a transformation folder node, the default properties currently in effect for that type of transformation are used to set the initial property values for the newly added transformation.
The default properties for each type of transformation are saved along with the analysis so that they will be available if changes are made to the analysis at a later time.

Otherwise, the property values of existing transformations are not changed when default properties are set. This option is not available when setting default properties for Derive transformations.
