Github user franz1981 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/activemq-artemis/pull/2392 @michaelandrepearce I understand your point here, just I'm not sure is only a matter of flexibility here, but more of user expectations and I admit that it makes this a lot more subjective to be judged. The point of the issue is that if an address already exists, but without any queue on it, which routing type configuration will take precendence while creating a new one? For some users It could be the default routing type specified on the addresses settings, while for others the ones defined in the already existing address. I admit that I'm more of the idea that the latter is matching most user expectations, but is just a personal taste.
