Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.I've created a content type (standard stuff) and I want each node to use a custom view mode by default that I've set up. I see several custom display settings for view modes under "Manage Display" >> "Default" >> " custom display settings" tab.
Right now all my articles are not adhering to my settings and are using a non-coded plain page without any of my styling by default.
How do I configure the custom display settings / view modes so that a default is picked that's one of my customized layouts?
I see "Default", "Full", "Teaser" etc but if I create "Full Two" for example, why cant I make that the Default one selected by my nodes / articles automatically and by default?

manoj selvan commentedHi @Dru Pal,
Custom display settings option is provided for adding your view mode(Full Two) to Manage Display so that you can create customized layout and use it in views. The Options(Full Content, RSS, Search index, Search result highlighting input, Teaser) were provided whether the view modes needs to be displayed in Manage Display or not.
But if you want to make Full Two as your default you can use same layout(Full Two) in default. As Default is the only option and you can customize that since default is not needed.
If you want to use default and Full two. You can create a view and set view mode as Full two.
