The left side of the dialog box lists the named Transfer Sets. During Parameter Transfer, and when applying a Favorite, you can choose any one of these sets.

One of the sets is tagged as the default to use when applying Favorites.

See Set as Default for Favorites.

Note: Element Transfer Settings and the named Transfer Sets are stored with the project. However, the Favorite default is a user preference and stored locally.
