Why does Intellij Idea make it so difficult to have a simple message that is added at the top of each file. ie. /** * Created on date * Copyright by developer */ Maybe I'm reading it wrong but creating a profile, adding a scope and having to manually insert in each individual project seems like a lot of work and leaves a hole if one is distracted and forgets. At the end of the project do you need to back and manually insert in every file?

  • I have not used this feature. I'm sure there is a way to insert the copyright automatically in any new file. – Code-Apprentice Mar 13 '20 at 21:58
  • Note that a question that's written more like a rant or complaint than a *question* as such is likely to be poorly received. It's better to spend your time (and our time as readers!) being specific about what you've tried than expressing exasperation. – Charles Duffy Mar 16 '20 at 12:45
  • ... I've at least edited the title to be more explicit about what you're asking. – Charles Duffy Mar 16 '20 at 12:48

Copyright settings for new projects should be saved if you define them in File | New Projects Settings | Preferences for new project. But unfortunately they aren't, please follow the bug already created for it at YouTrack: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-207505
