Set Default Status of Assembly to "Assembled" When Entered in UI

Set Default Status of Assembly to "Assembled" When Entered in UI

I've just discovered the new "confirmed" status of Assemblies within Inventory.

While I understand the intent of this (allowing for manufacturing planning and raw material stock allocation), it was initially confusing to me when manually entering some Assemblies.

The biggest issue here is that there are now, at minimum, two steps needed to actually record an Assembly through the UI (three if one is just using the keyboard, pressing "enter" to save an Assembly).

Historically, it was a one-step process to enter a fully assembled Assembly / bundle.

For folks who have no use for or awareness of the other statuses, the current setup is changing the outcome of their UI entries without them changing their processes.

That's a dangerous setup, changing the outcome for the same user behavior.

The default when entering an Assembly via the UI should be to enter it as the "Assembled" state, just like it has been historically. This includes when entering from the keyboard only (the "enter" key should trigger saving the Assembly in the "Assembled" state).

Optimally, the system should allow for changing the default (or simply "remembering" the last state in which an Assembly was saved). But, if nothing else, the default should be made so that it's consistent with how it's worked before (Assmebled state).
