Make it possible to set "Content-Aware Fill" as the default option when cropping images

..it's the mode I need like 95% of the time - but for some reason it keeps reverting to "Background (default)" or "Transparent (default)" eventually when opening further images..

..making it necessary to manually choose "Content-Aware Fill" over and over again (I probably do this 300 times a month)..
 

One instance where it changes away from the manually-set "Content-Aware Fill" is when I open a file with more than one layer (background layer being locked by default).
The problem is the fill mode then changes to "Background (default) for all open files, and all files I open from there on out.

The only "solution" to set it back to "Contant-Aware" is to quit PS, open it again without a file, set crop tool, set "Content-Aware Fill", close PS, open it again..

Also it doesn't seem to make sense in the first place as to why the fill mode changes - when opening a single-layer file (with locked background) it will happily stay with "Content-Aware" - see attached screenshots..
 

This is really doing my head in.

Can you please give users the option to set "Content-Aware Fill" as the (permanent) default?

Thanks in advance!

Ps: I'm using the most recent MacOS (15.7.1) and up-to-date Photoshop (27.8.0) - this problem exists for a while though, moths at least..
