Quote - Save the material as a material collection (even though it's only a single material you're saving). Poser will then associate the material with the name of the zone and shouldn't have to ask you.

However, Poser has never asked me that question so my experience may be lacking. It will help if you state which version of Poser you're using.

If it has more than one material available, when you load an MT5 from the Pose room, it will ask which one to apply it to. It has to. At least, it always has for me (and I don't want Poser to guess -- it's notoriously bad about coming to incorrect conclusions about materials, texture cross talk, etc, etc). It won't do it in the material room because, I assume that, well, you've already indicated your material zone selection.
