I've seen reference to this in several posts.  Where can I find it in Sonar Platinum?  One post mentioned Preferences>Project>Record, but I don't have Project in my preferences menu.... I am in advanced.   

Open or create a new project, then do it. Cheers.

There is menu organization mistake, it is global option, but now it is placed in project menu. I've reported it, but it is not fixed yet.

+1. Needs to be moved.

I think it is project specific for a reason. If you want it to default to off by default then edit the template to have it off. Then every time you start a new project it will be off.
 
I just tested this and it does work.
 
You may feel it is better to keep it organized differently. I do not agree. 
 
I'm curious how Cake will weigh in on the subject.  

Tom, it is not per project now, actually it is global. If you change it, it changes for all projects.

Yup that's what I see... It also makes sense to me it being global. I can't see a person wanting to change his/her workflow on a per project basis when it comes to this specific functionality.

Hmm. Confused I am. Thought it was per project I did.
 
 

I tried starting a new project, but I don't see the Allow Arm Changes dialog anywhere.  Am I in the right place?
 

I googled this for you.

Remember to start a new project (or open one).

Ta..
