Description
It doesn't seem to be possible to specify 'all' in the panel for recording traces:

The other comment in the help dialog was confusing initially, but I figured it out in the end. Could be reworded to something like: "There is no need to explicitly specify values to record here if they have been used in a traces plot (next tab)"
It might also be good to add helper buttons here and/or at the traces tab like "Record and plot v at all cell somas" "Record v at all cells/segments" which automatically fill in the correct values in all tabs.

Research direction
Start from the record-traces panel and its help dialog, then inspect the traces tab mentioned in the issue. Confirm how recording values are entered and populated; done means the requested “all” behavior, clearer help text, and any agreed helper controls work consistently across the relevant tabs.
