How to change work item type that can be created as a Child via the web pop-up in RTC
With RTC V4.0.2 how can i change the type of work item that can be created as a Child in the web UI when using the Add LInk option. I can link to an existing work item but the option is only to create a change work item. I would like to be able to default the option to defect.
See attached image.

I had the same problem as you, and I found that you can change the default work item type by going into the actual process configuration source and changing the order of the work item definitions.
For instance, I have created a custom Change Proposal for a client, and this uses Review custom work item as a child. When I first went to the Links tab and tried to add a new child, the default was to create a new Defect work item. I initially used the same approach as above and created the Defect, but then changed the Type - annoying but OK.
I then cleaned up the project and deleted all the work item types not related to what the client needed, and suddenly found the default child type had changed to Task! Going into the Process Configuration Source, I found that Task was the first work item type declared, so I swapped it with the Review work item type, and Bingo - the default work item type for me now is Review.
