I’m working with drums and I’ve set up the percussion kit, set up the percussion map and changed the routing in Play to go to my custom perc map. Finally, I’ve saved this instrument as the default (Setup>Edit Instrument Definition>star button). What I’d like to have happen is to be able to choose my instrument (drums) when adding a new player and have the percussion map tied to that instrument. Is that possible or do I have to redo the mapping every time?
You need to save the Endpoint Configuration so that Dorico knows to map that Percussion Map to your kit.

I’ve tried saving the endpoint configuration. However, when I try to add this instrument to another file, neither the percussion map, nor the endpoint configuration is automatically linked. Attached is a file with the drums how I would like them set up.

You should incorporate your endpoint into a Playback Template. Like this…
Here, my Omni-base1 endpoint loads an Omnisphere instance for a synth and all (any) other instruments use NotePerformer.
In your case, you would put your Drum kit endpoint first, and one of the Dorico factory templates alongside.
