Set Legacy Forms as default for new tables?

Is there a way to set default form for new tables in an app to be legacy forms? 

I've noticed that in older apps, when I create a new table, it uses legacy forms, while in a new app I created recently, new tables default to the new form. The legacy form is available in the table's Form setting, and can be manually switched there.

As to why I would want to do that - I'm just used to the old forms and I'm building a demo app with lots of tables, and I don't have time right now to figure out how to do all the things in the new forms that I could do with old forms.

thanks!

For the tables you want to use legacy forms by default, go to the table settings -> Forms -> then you set the default form to be the legacy form:

You can choose which form to use for different roles/reports, but in your case, just set the top three choices to everyone to whatever your legacy form is called.

Right, found this for changing existing tables to legacy form, but was hoping there was a way to make it so that any new tables created would default to legacy form. 

In the end, took a few hours to learn the new forms!
