I recently read an entry here ... “what priority do you use”. The majority of answers were Aperture priority and auto ISO

I would assume those answers referred to shooting outdoors.

Is your answer the same if shooting indoors, with & without a flash??

yes

I shoot 80% of the time in Manual priority, 15% in Aperture priority and 5% is Shutter priority. I only shoot in Aperture when doing portraits.

The same with indoor but with flash I always use manual mode.

I almost always use AP in or outdoors. However, on AUTO ISO, I vary. If going indoor and out, I will have it on auto ISO so I can get the indoor shots, but if I am outside, the camera will most likely decide on a lower ISO.
Watch it though if you shoot on a tripod (say early morning or late evening) and are trying to get the best shot you can. In auto ISO, the camera will choose a high number if needed and you will get a noisier shot than expected.
Same if shooting flash - the camera may bump the iso up and you won't quite get the shot you expected.
So for tripod and shooting with flash - auto ISO OFF.

As a rule, the conditions and the intention of the photographer determine camera settings and whether or not to use artificial lighting. I state the obvious.

Strictly speaking, a formula for each possible situation may exist, yet so much variation may arise that having the skill to adapt to a given situation for gaining a flattering, effective photograph seems like a better alternative.

Expert opinion and my own experience tell me so.

Happy New Year!

Yes

Or, try the "Pro mode". Meaning, "Program". Most all enthusiast cameras allow you to manually choose to control the aperture and/or shutter speed via dials while in "Program" - and still get the correct exposure.

I saw that too. Sad that folks will pollute the forum with these polls rather than think for themselves.

I shoot early in the morning with the sun coming over my shoulder and lighting birds. I do not need flash under these conditions. I use Aperture Priority but I like to control my ISO. I use Aperture Priority if the clouds are going in and out or changing cloudy conditions. If the sun is out I use manual cause the light source does not change.

Av for me but no Auto-ISO ever. My ISO is usually set at 200.

Yes, because controlling depth of field is usually a priority. With flash, you have to use manual because you want to control BOTH depth of field and shutter speed.

I use often Aperture Priority but not AUTO ISO. Indoors I use the Manual Mode or Aperture Priority depending on my subject.

As i eluded to before, it matters most for the type of shot you are going for, the lens of you are using to get that shot, and your abiities to get that shot.

A lot of shooters are set in their ways and need to up their game or at least be open to trying other things.
