+1. Most of my time is "development", but it defaults to "administrative", presumably because it comes first alphabetically.

+1 I like allowing the user to set their default activity. So on My Page, I can make "Development" my default avtivity.

I don't agree with restricting activities to roles. Then you will end up with a matrix of who can do what, which would make setup harder.

+1 It would be really helpful

Different users need different defaults for their activity page. Eventually, project defaults are useful too.

Guess that default activity should be set per role.

i think so, too.

Well this could be tricky. For example, you assign "development" as default activity and the user is on Project A which is holds the activity "development", everything is okay. But how do you want to handle this on Project B which doesn't hold this activity?

Another suggestion could be to assign the role to a project and assign a default activity for this role in this project?

+1 to restricting activities to roles. Why managers should see "Fixing" ? Why developers should see "Accounting"? etc. When there are a lot of roles the activities list becomes long and confusing.

A patch that adds the option to define a default time entry activity for each role was added to #29286.
