Making it easier to log group of LTC's

Most often, when I log cards, there are many at once. Maybe a tracker, for instance. Or maybe I did a personal exchange, or Marjorie's Potpourri. I use Advanced Search. But for each card, I have to change the status from Traditional to LTC. Every single card logged requires this extra step.
Is it possible to change the default so that we can choose to place it on LTCs, OR to make the default whatever we last used? For traditional boxes, I am probably only logging a couple of individual finds [or maybe one series]. I am doing at least 5 cards at a time, and if I get behind, it might be 25 cards.
Ok, there's my 2 cents.

If you do a Simple Search then you can directly enter the LTC number. That will take you directly to the card. That's how I start entering an LTC tracker. From there I just use the tracker to quickly get to the next card.
If they are miscellaneous cards then just keep entering the numbers.

Under the 'letterbox' tab at the top of the page, dropdown menu, select "Record Find". The first time you can select type 'LTC' and enter the card #. It will take you to the card and after you log the find, use the page back to get back to the "Record Find" screen. The 'LTC' type is still selected, so just enter the next number you want to log. Repeat until finished.

Oh! It doesn't say we can enter a NUMBER under Record Find, so I never use it.

If they are from a tracker, there is a Save Finds button at the top of the tracker page. It lists all the cards all nice and simple. The bad thing about logging this way is that if the planter has a message in the clue you can't see it/know about it.

If you have the card # you don't even need to select "LTC" when searching. The number will automatically pull up whatever the box # is to. Works for any type. Doesn't help much when you have my cards though, I almost always forget to add the # to them😳

Really? It isn't required? Just looks like it's required, so I never tried!!! Thanks, will try that. Except on yours.

I like to see clues too. I use the tracker page but not the save finds, I just click on each card thru the tracker page and then log from the card page.
