Feature #1365
open
Allow Project by Project setting of a 'Default' Tracker value including nil
Added by James Byrne about 16 years ago.
Updated about 8 years ago.
Description
Presently the 'default' tracker value is determined by its UTF-8 encoding so that the tracker with lowest alphabetic value description displays and is selected automatically if the user does not alter it. I suggest that the default tracker be settable by project and that a nil default be available which would mean that the user MUST select one tracker value from the available list but that none will be preselected for them.
- Target version deleted (
0.8)
The target version field has to be set when it will actually part of the target release.
I second this request. There's a great tendency to forget to select an appropriate tracker when a default is provided. Our development group has had to move dozens of issues between trackers over time as a result of this.
Also, since I can't add related issues, I'll just point out the related patch in #1667
I totaly agree : it's really easy in Redmine to set a wrong tracker with the default choice, and such feature would be great for data's consistency.
I agree too and the patch seems to "resolve" this feature. Could you it put in the next release ?
Hi.
This patch isn't executable in Redmine version 1.2.2.
Is there a handy man to create this feature as a Redmine plugin? I'm new to Ruby :-(
Thank you.
Jan
Can you implement this patch to Redmine? It would be great!
Any updates in this area? Default tracker could really help...
- Subject changed from Allow Project by Project setting of a 'Default' Tracker value encluding nil to Allow Project by Project setting of a 'Default' Tracker value including nil

Badly needed for reasons cited above.
- Has duplicate Feature #21392: Make Tracker field to be empty by default added
- Has duplicate Feature #14018: Allow tracker field appear empty on new issues' creation (force user to choose tracker) added
This ticket should be closed as a duplicate of #1667 which already includes a patch for this.
Hopefully #1667 can make it in the next release...
