Now with .net 8.0 are we allowed to use autoproperties for setting default values?

Hello,

I've always disliked how properties are set up in NT8, the properties are set right at the bottom of the file, and the defaults are set inside State == State.SetDefaults at the top of the file, so much scrolling or navigation if a program gets too big, even worse I see it's common for some to use the property with a backing field, that's like 10 - 14 lines for a single property as I've seen in some cases.

Now with .NET 8 we can do the following, but I'm not sure if this can bring some unintended consequences with the UI or the bots/indicators, so far, I haven't seen a problem, would like to get some feedback if this is allowed now:

[NinjaScriptProperty, Display(Name = "Set Profit Target", Order = 14, GroupName = "Target")]
public bool PropProfitTarget { get; set; } = true;

Thanks!

Hello Waxavi,

This is C#.. you can declare variables at the top of the class if you want to. And you can assign CategoryOrder to be at the top as well.

The Order of the Display attribute can be specified as well within a Category.
