Can I make a new input parameters preset a default one somehow?

I want to make my own material blend and multi material blend  nodes and would like a new preset become default one when I drop the nodes in  graph pane.    Is there a way to do so ?

With the material blend node selected use Ctrl+E to open the graph

In the Explorer panel, right click on the material _blend .sbs and Save a Copy as . I named my copy material_blend_dave.sbs

 

Open this copy and click on the material blend graph.

Scroll down the input paramaters opening each in turn and turn on/off the default setting to hide or show each. e.g. twirl open Channels | Diffuse (Boolean) and set Default to False. 

Continue for the other channels as required

Save this copy sbs

 

Use it in your new Substance graph, it should open with just the inputs and outputs you set.

    Could you explain please.  Whatever I set in default setting  the buttom 'update' is gray. I can't sae new default .

     

    Fotr example I want MAterial blend  node to  have 3 textures : base color, normal, specular  input/output only.   I can save it as a  new preset   but evry time I drop the node it cames in its default state and I have to switch to 3 textures  preset evry time.
