Gents,

I normally work with PHP 8.1.9, Apache 2.4.4.3 and MySQL 8.0.16

When choosing my environment I always have to fill that in, in Custom. Is it possible to set this as my Preferred environment?

Hi @josf! You can’t change the Preferred environment but with Blueprints you could save some time by creating a fresh new site with your Custom settings, and then saving it as a Blueprint.
