DO not default new fields on forms

Question

I know I've seen the option to make it s that new fields created do NOT automatically get added to the end of your forms, but now I can't seem to find it. I'm sure I keep staring at it but am just not seeing it.

There is also a pop-up window when you create a new field that gives you the option to not add the field to forms:

I don't even bother doing it manually anymore for Report Defaults. Every time we deploy a sandbox this setting is changed back to "automatically make it a default column" in the production app on every table even if it was set to no previously. It took me some time to trace it back to the sandbox being deployed.

I ended up just making a script that runs through every table and flips this setting to off in Report Defaults and just run that after every sandbox deploy.

Haven't bothered with a user voice for it because there is the new sandbox feature coming out. If it isn't fixed with the new sandbox, I will definitely submit one later on.

It would be good to submit a ticket to ensure that the sandbox developers catch that one before it goes into GA General Availability.
