@sgtmango333 I missed your question, apologies. It is not possible to set the default value for the Encryption property to optional. With SSMS 20 we upgraded to MDS 5.x, which sets Encryption to Mandatory (true) by default. We intentionally decided to stay with the default, to encourage folks toward...
