Visual Studio: Set Project configuration 'Release' as default for new Solution configuration

Question

I have a VS solution with Release and Debug Configuration. Each project in the solution has different settings for Release and Debug.

Now I have added a new solution configuration named 'DedicatedSolutionConfiguration'. With this configuration I will mark some projects not to be built.

I've changed the project configuration of each project in that solution configuration to 'Debug', because I like to use these project settings for that new solution configuration. That looks like this:

However, when I now add a new Project to the solution, the project's configuration inside the new configuration is initially always set to 'Debug':

Where can I change this behavior for the solution, that new added projects use 'Release' for the new solution configuration?

Thanks for replies.

Answer 1

After playing further arround, I found out, how to set the 'default' project configuration for a new solution configuration for new projects in the solution.

When creating a new solution configuration, for Copy settings from, select the setting you want to keep also for new projects added to this solution and uncheck the Create new project configurations. Even you might think 'copy settings from' would only apply for the yet existing projects, it's also the default for every new added project!
