PLEASE ALLOW "Save As" Presets OTHER than WAV

I've already seen this question asked but it was a post five years ago and apparently it still hasn't been addressed - why not allow saved presets in the save as dialogue box why should I have to keep changing every recording that I'm making (or that I'm editing) only in the WAV format. I developed or tried to develop a workflow of duplicating a .m4a file, selecting all of the audio, deleting the audio, recording a new podcast with that duplicated file name, and then hoping just to do command us to save still in the .m4a/16 bit format that the original file was in. But no. Audition really wants to make everything a WAV file or to force me to make multiple menu selections so that I can save as .m4a - which in the situation that I tested today was the difference between a 50 minute record recording that would have taken up 560 MB as a WAV file versus only 100 MB as a .m4a file… but I had to go through the process of selecting a different file type and then a different bit depth and then doing save. What skin is it off your teeth Adobe, to provide a saved preset option and then when I get your saved as dialogues I simply select the preset and click OK. done! (PRETTY PLEASE. with cinnamon raisins on top?)
