Changing the Default Work Item type

I create most of my work items from the Eclipse UI in the context of a
plan (because that fills in some default values, based on where in the
plan I click). In that context, if you right click, you get a "Set
Default ..." option under the "Add Work Item" operation. But I'm not
aware of a way to set this in the context that you describe.

Cheers,
Geoff

that is created when you click on
"Work
Items" -
"Create Work
Item". It currently creates an
"Action"
work item record. I want it to create a
"Defect"
work item record.
Is an Action
record created just because it is
alphabetically 1st or is there somewhere in the
Process Configuration
or Process
Configuration Source that the default
work item type can be specified?

I know my users only have to click the down arrow next to "Create
Work Item" and select "Defect", but they're lazy.

Under Process Configuration Source navigate to
<project>
<data>
<configuration-data id="com.ibm.team.workitem.configuration.workItemTypes" xmlns="http://com.ibm.team.workitem/workitemTypes">

Under this section you'll find the following 3 lines
<type category="com.ibm.team.workitem.workItemType" icon="processattachment:/workitemtype/bug.gif" id="defect" name="Defect">
<alias name="bug"/>
</type>

Cut, then paste them to immediately below the line
<configuration-data id="com.ibm.team.workitem.configuration.workItemTypes" xmlns="http://com.ibm.team.workitem/workitemTypes">


basically whatever is 1st in this section becomes the default "Work Item".
