Did construct three ever add the ability to explicitly set an "archetype" for a given object? That was one of the most frustrating things about using construct 2. The archetype was effectively arbitrarily designated as the "first instance of that object on the first layout of the project", so if you spawned new instances they would be preassigned those settings. It was very non-obvious and led to people having to build helper functions that would spawn new instances with the desired default settings.
