Setting a default value of a field to Work Item's Creator ?
We have a field that is type Contributor. We would like to have the value for that field default to the id that is creating the Work item - and allow for it to be changed (if necessary).
Has this been done ? Or CAN it be done ?
Also, can something similar be done with a date field where we default the value to the Creation Date - and again allow for it to be updated if necessary) ?

Hi Steve,
this can be done with 3.0 and higher. In the Eclipse client pen the project editor. Open the Process configuration tab. Go to Project Configuration>Configuration Data>Work Items. Open Attribute configuration. Here you can create a new default value provider of type User. In the Details of the new default value provider select "Authenticated User".
You can now assign the default value provider in the configuration for the work item attribute.
I am looking at 3.0.1.1. But I know that someone had used this in 3.0. I think it is not available in 2.x.

We are in 3.0. What you provided works nicely. Thanks.
