the slab would behave the way you want it to behave. you have to place the main bar in the direction you want the load to be transferred

In a one way slab, the main rebar should be along the direction of load transfer. The rebars in the other direction are just distribution steel. When it comes to applying the floor load with One way distribution option, depending on the way the load distribution is for your slab, you may choose the Towards option or simply go with the default .

Okay I get, if I’m constructing an in-situ concrete slab do I have to place my main rebar in the direction I put my one way slab load towards to transfer the slab load in that direction as a one way? And would it be realistic?

What If I place my main rebar in the direction of the shorter beam for an in-situ concrete slab would the load be transferred towards that direction (in practical sense). Because I can place my one way load towards any direction in staad

STAAD would typically distribute the one way type loading on the long beams which is how it would be in reality. The Towards option in provided in addition, to give the user an opportunity to override that, in case needed. Let's say, if you have precast panels resting on the beams spanning the shorter direction.
