When I get a dialog asking what to open something with AND select one or always, setting a default app, it never retains my choice. This issue was on my Note 3 as well. I really hoped Note 8 get beyond this. It is very frustrating always getting asked this again and again and again ad nauseam!
Please Samsung address and fix. The attached screenshot is a single simple occurrence now. I know it won't hold.
I did send my system log to Samsung.
Thank you

The point here is that the system offers the choice to set the choice as default BUT does not retain that choice as it asks the same repeatedly.
That you have not experienced the issue doesn't help without knowing configuration and details of your phone, OS, etc...
I of course had already checked the default settings for each app.
What I did find was an obscure setting I hadn't noticed before. There appears to be a global option that overrides default app settings to force ask for an app to use. I changed it and initially it seems to have fixed my issue.
I would still wonder why the initial dialog that offers the choice to use an app always would not disclose a global setting that makes it redundant. I hope Samsung would still address the apparent conflict.
