Can you change the status of an issue from Create Issue Screen?

[Philliping]

At times when inputting an issue into JIRA the issue has already been put into progress in actuallity, but when putting it into JIRA it defaults to Open. I am aware that I can create a wokflow where the default status is not Open, but is it possible to change the status of an issue from the Create Issue Screen via a custom field or something along those lines? Or even just haveing the option to put the issue into the 'In Progress' state from the Create Issue Screen?

Although I have never tried it (what you want to accomplish) you could take a closer look at Jamie's script runner:

https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/com.onresolve.jira.groovy.groovyrunner

The script-runner has a built-in script to fast-track issues based on conditions:

• Fast-tracking an issue through another action if a condition is true. Using this you can effectively have multiple start states for a workflow, with the initial state depending on, for example severity, reporter, or whatever

I'm not sure if it work at issue creation but you might want to give it a try.

Not directly but ...

You can create a custom field, and use a customized workflow with a postfunction that executes a transition only if the customfield above has value = XX. It's a bit tricky, but this should work.
