Configure default required fields for registration forms

Please provide the ability to configure default settings for program event registration forms.  (Or alternatively, allow web form settings to be copied with the program event). This is critical for any organizations managing more than a handful of events. 

We manage almost 200 summer camps annually, and close to 800 additional public programs.  We would like to update some of the web language and required fields for all of our programs, and currently this must be done one-by-one. 

As a specific example (screenshots attached), our development team would like to collect title for each of our registrants, but by default this field is not required.  This creates a bad user experience when the registrant completes all necessary fields for registration, then proceeds to the shopping cart form where title IS required.  Inevitably, they click "Check Out" before seeing that a title needs to be provided, and they receive an error: "Title: Required.  

Thank you for considering this update.

    Yes, we CONSTANTLY have people calling in trying to figure out why they're getting an error message. A lot of people just give up rather than call, so who knows how many registrants we could be missing out on because of this issue.

    This is SO needed. There are so many updates we have to make to pre-registered programs that are truly at the program level and not the event level, but we have to do each one individually. Or, for scheduled programs when it's a member pre-sale, it requires three separate areas of text that have to be individually edited per event.

    This is especially important given the switch to timed events in the recent year.
