Creating a new project area from a template which contains required custom fields

How can I tell RTC not to trigger task creation in the RTC Eclipse client when I create/initialize a new PA?

Thanks ... that worked ... perhaps you can help on my next problem as well :-)
I am using RTC 4.0.5 and all of my Enumerations are configured in the project area itself (no external database or anything).

With my brand new project area, when I attempt to create the first work item, one of my enumerations shows up already with an "X" on it and no value in it.  It is supposed to default to Unassigned, which is what I have defined:
<enumeration attributeTypeId="functionalArea" name="Functional Area">
  <literal default="true" id="functionalArea.literal.l32" name="Unassigned" null="true"/>
  <literal id="functionalArea.literal.l40" name="N/A"/>
 ... and more

However, it shows with nothing in the field and so I can't choose anything out of it (which is a problem for me).  Everything ot me looks okay, AND this works perfectly well on the server that I just exported the process template from (I am creating a test area on my local server instead of a common server somewhere else).

Any ideas?

umm no - a closer look to the template might help.
