Please give me the option in global options to set "Multiple Files Page Name..." as the hard default PDF option in Map Series.  Brownie points if I can completely disable the other options.

No - I don't want a preset, I want something that is a hard setting that I can rely on to be the same every time I open Pro and click share layout as pdf.  I'll be happy if you remove the Single File option altogether and I have to merge my pdfs using Python or something else.

This random stupid behaviour that you have to double check every  single !! time is getting old.

AMEN RTPL_AU!!!

And not only that, but, since "Single File" is the default, you can't automate the production of "Multiple Files (Page name as suffix) in Python! 

Let us go back to ArcMap where this was NOT an issue!

@EricIrwin Have you looked at https://pro.arcgis.com/en/pro-app/latest/arcpy/mapping/mapseriesexportoptions-class.htm "This object is only needed if you want to export a MapSeries or BookmarkMapSeries with properties different than the default values."

If multiple files is set as the default setting, I hope I don't have to deal with this anymore:

Pro just gets into an undefined state and doesn't give me the option to even change to multiple files.

Another run of save, close, restart, reload, check, export........
