Hi,  
on new node red, it's possible to hide/show node labels. But when you drag and drop a node to flow, on default the label is shown. How can I hide label on drag and drop (same as link node) ?

If a node label is hide, they save it as property **l: { value: false}**.  
I use this on "defaults" section. But it works not correct every time.

What is the solution ?

Thanks

@iiot2k it is not currently possible for a node to set its own default state - the Link node is a special case built into the editor.
