Hi Mana! Julianne from Mixpanel Support here.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it isn't possible to change the default cohort settings at this time. Sorry I don't have better news there!
I definitely recommend submitting your use case and request for this feature via the 'Submit Feedback' form (under the ? menu). This will flag your use case and support of the feature to the Product team. They use the logged gaps to develop future releases and improvements of the product.Â
