Default values for WorkItems fields
![](http://jazz.net/_images/myphoto/8a1a58477c770c51bb6d0cd2fa1540f2.jpg)
Hi,
How can I set the defaults for WorkItem fields?
It could be a global defaults, or based on one attribute set the user, such as Filed Against.
Scenario: Most of the bugs opened are in times that the focus is on one component, Planned for. Even Priority and Severity can be set to High,Major and then changed later if needed. Owned by is also a good candidate for default based on Filed Against.
Thanks,
Dekel

You can set defaults for enumerations (like serverity and priority) in the process configuration of the project area. (In the project area editor switch to the Process Configuration tab and select Project Configuration > Configuration Data > Work Items > Enumerations.)

Can you set the default value for other fields -- the ability to set the Planned For automatically to the current iteration would be great.
