Currently it defaults to the project last worked on in the session, if no project has been worked on, it wont have a value.

I am very interesting by this request. On our JIRA, we have more than 160 projects, more than 3000 users. Very often, when a new user create an issue, he ALWAYS forget to choose a project for his issue, so the 1st project in the list has got a lot of issue not for him.
Can it be possible t have the possibility at the Global Setting level to choose if we want to have a project by default when we create an new issue or not. If no project have been select : error message.

Many thanks in advance for your answer.
Carole

Carole, here's an idea you could try.

Instead of the having the main page of your JIRA (e.g. http://jira.atlassian.com) in a user's favourite, have users bookmark (i.e. set as browser favourite) in their browsers a specific project (e.g. http://jira.atlassian.com/browse/JRA). That way, every day when they start up JIRA it will automatically start with a project selected.

Hi Neal,

I can not do it like that, because each user can create an issue on several projects. When we give access to a JIRA to a user, I have no idea on which projects he will create issues. The majority of the projects are "public" ("permission" on "create issue" are for "jira-users")

The best solution for me will be to have no project by default an an error message if the user dont select a project when he try to create an issue.

Any news about this issue ? This need is very urgent for us. We have more than 4000 users, more than 180 projects, and all new users when they are creating a new issue, forget to select a project.

We need to have NO project select by default, if the user forget to select a project, an error message should appears "please select a project".

Thanks to indicate me if you think to implement it in a next version of JIRA ?

Carole

Hi Carole,

I think this issue was requesting something different to what you are after. The original issue was about having a default project for a user. However, as Neal pointed out, once at least one issue is created JIRA will remember the last project it was created in, and default to that project.

As far as I can tell, in your case, you would like the project select list to always default to no value. I suggest creating a new issue for this. When creating a new issue, please let us know if the the main cause of the problem is that there are a lot of projects.

Please note that we have thousands of feature and improvement requests and therefore it will take us a while to get to this. The way new features and improvements are scheduled is described in the following document:
http://confluence.atlassian.com/display/DEV/Implementation+of+New+Features+and+Improvements

If you need an urgent solution for this, you may want to have a look at implementing this yourself. JIRA's source code is available with every commercial license. Another solution is to involve one of Atlassian partners who specialise in makeing customisations such as this one. If you are interested, please send an e-mail to partners@atlassian.com

Cheers,
Anton

However, as Neal pointed out, once at least one issue is created JIRA will remember the last project it was created in, and default to that project.

I can confirm that this is not working as expected in 3.10.2. As soon as I close my browser and reopen it the first project is selected again. Doesn't look like that there is a persistent cookie where JIRA remembers the last selected project on the CreateIssue page.


Neal Applebaum - 03/Oct/07 08:29 AM
Gunnar, do you check the "Remember my login on this computer " checkbox? If that is checked, and it's been less than 60 minutes (default timeout) of inactivity, then it will remember your last project. Otherwise, it will not.

Anton Mazkovoi [Atlassian] - 03/Oct/07 11:25 PM
Gunnar, Neal,

The last project is only remembered in the session. Ticking "remember me" will not fix this. If you log out, or close the browser, or your session times out, the first time you create an issue after this, the first project will be selected.
