Help How can I get Lollipop to not automatically set a default app?

I just upgraded to a Samsung Note 5, and while most all is well, I can no longer choose to NOT set a default app when more than one can be used to complete an action.

That is, the default behavior I want is for the OS to ask me each and every time which app to use, UNLESS I explicitly set a default. It used to work that way.

Short of clearing the default each and every time I select which one to use, is there an OS setting or app that can restore the old behavior?

Rooting is not currently an option for me. Thanks in advance.
