Changing Default Development Settings

I've changed the default development settings (enabling lens corrections) several years ago, I think it was in Lightroom 5 or 6 (perpetual license).  I used the menu Develop - Set Default Settings... to do that.

 

Now I like to reset these settings and I don't find this menu item. It seems Adobe has delete this in the one of the newer version of Lightroom!?

 

I don't find a way to reset these settings. Does anybody know a trick to do that. Or must I do that with own presets that are assigened during import?

The way these setting are done has drastically changed. You now save your settings in a preset, and then in Preferences - Presets you can define this preset as the default for one particular camera, or all cameras.

@JohanElzenga Many thanks, Johan. This is also the way I had in mind. But I thought there was another, perhaps undocumented or hidden, trick to reset it to default.
