While customizing the FP, I have never been able to understand the function of this menu option.. what exactly is a Default run time short cut menu ? ( This is one instance where LV Help is not helping me 😉
Thanks

Every front panel control has a menu associated with it, accessible by right-clicking on the control when the VI is running. For example, for a numeric control:
These can be individually customised at edit time (right click menu - Advanced - Run-Time Shortcut Menu) or programatically through property nodes.
If "Allow default run-time shortcut menus" is TRUE, the menu for every control is available unless it has been individually disabled.
If "Allow default run-time shortcut menus" is FALSE, the menu for every control is not available unless it has been replaced by a custom run-time menu.
I usually do not allow the default menus, then just define custom menus for controls as required. This saves the user being presented with options that are not relevant or appropriate.

Copy, Paste, Reinitialize to Default, that menu.
