HELP WITH METHOD OF DEFINING ATTRIBUTES IN DYNAMIC BLOCK

I just upgraded from 2012 to 2015 yesterday, and when I insert my Dynamic Blocks I get a pop up with the Attributes and have to fill this out, and cannot use the arrow keys to auto-fill the definitions like I did on 2012. Instead I have fill each one in manually and this KILLS time. The blocks are for multiple devices in rooms in which a lot of the info is re-used (not all the info).  Is there a way to make it so when I insert, the command line prompts me for the attributes instead of filling out this dialog box??  Attribute Problem.png

I changed the ATTDIA to 0 and kept ATTREQ @ 1 and this made it so my Attribute "questions" were asked on the command bar, while retaining the info I've entered into other blocks!!!! Now, if you can figure out how this can be done when I add the Dynamic Block in from the "Tool Pallete" (I currently just use the "insert" command) I'd really appreciate it!!! It's the same deal, (this was the case with 2012 also) I click on the block, pick the insertion point, and then I get the Dialog Box for the attribute definition instead of the "questions' in the command bar. I really appreciate your help on this!!!!!!
