Unable to set default to markdown mode

Thanks for the follow-up, Martin. I had already set the mode to Markdown on Sunday. I had then logged in with a test account on Monday, in a separate browser profile, which received the Rich editor instead.

For further testing, I also just logged into another test account that hadn’t logged in for 10 months. It was also set to Rich Text mode by default.

This is very odd indeed…how many users are on your site in total? I wonder if it’s hanging on the step where it’s supposed to update all users from the site setting change, because I noticed there is nothing in the UI to indicate that work is still happening.

Also, if that helps, each time I set “default_composition_mode” to “Markdown”, I get the warning: “Would you like to apply this change historically? This will change preferences for 61 existing users.” I understand I should get this the first time, but it seems like a bug that it prompts me each time for some number of users.

Depends on how many users have changed it with the toggle in the interim. It seems like it works properly for me in local testing.
