zypper add repository and enable refresh on one line

Question

When I add a repository using zypper:

zypper ar <url> name

then I have to do

zypper lr

check the number of the repository and enable autorefresh:

zypper mr -r 2

Can't I do all this in one line?

Answer 1

after looking around on the internet for a while I found the -f option:

zypper ar -f <url> name

this enables autorefresh automatically. I am wondering why autorefresh is off by default!
