Is there a way to set announcement in the category by default for roles who are allowed to announce?

Thanks!

How should announcements look like?
Look at Bump plugin to move a discussion to the top.
Look at PrefixDiscussion to mark it in a specific visible way.
Both have permissions you can assign to specific roles.

Just standard way. Want to make it enabled by default in new post dialog. see attachment.

make a plugin load the script only on new discussion page.

add this function to a basic plugin you create

public function PostController_Render_Before($Sender) {

if (Gdn::Session()->CheckPermission('Vanilla.Discussions.Announce')) {
$Sender->AddJsFile('ann-cat.js', 'plugins/nameofyourplugin');
}
}

add this file to js folder in your plugin

you could try jquery

    jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    `$('#Form_Announce1').prop('checked',true);`
    });

this will restrict to new discussions (and not edit).

$('#vanilla_post_discussion #Form_Announce1').prop('checked',true);
