Symbol Toggle Issue

I am using a couple of different styles so I thought I would go and edit the style options listed. However, every style I load goes into the first slot no matter what. So it will override the default style. Further, I can't cycle through to the other styles I want to use because I can't add any.

When you load a master filter file, it loads all those slots, not just the first one, you don't load files into slots. Almost all of the existing master filters are using the first slot for the style, because the first one is the one activated by default.
But you can make your own file by filling out the different slots, and then save it as a new master filter file. When you load that file, it will contain he slots as you saved them, and the symbol style toggle button will toggle between those in the list.
Shouldn't I be able to click on say Filter 2, hit load, and then the new style go into that slot? I can then fill out all of the slots and hit save. Or, is this one of those things where CC3 doesn't work intuitively?
No, hitting load will load ALL the slots at once from what's in the file you pick. The saved files are a collection of filters, loading loads the entire collection from each file, not just a single item to put into a single slot.
To make a custom setup, you'll just need to type the filters you want into each slot and then save it. This will save a file with the complete set of all slots you have defined, and when you load it, it will load all the slots from that file.
If it were to load just a single slot at a time, it would be impossible to make a file containing many filters at once (which is precisely what you're attempting to make), because you couldn't load it again.
@Monsen Can you give a detailed tutorial on how to do all this, toggling say Schley, weilink, spectrum and darklands?
Not sure if you have seen this one mate or if this answers the question? :)
