JIRA URL to pass in a value to a field

Question

Hi,

Within the JIRA's URL, is there anyway to pass a parameter and value to the URL so that it fills in a field?

My end goal is that when someone creates a JIRA, the "Labels" is already filled in.

We have multiple departments using the same JIRA instance. If we can have the label auto-filled, then it's easy to sort out who can handle the JIRA. Users are usually fairly lazy in filling out everything.

Right now we have

https://<our compnay url>/secure/CreateIssue.jspa?pid=14205&issuetype=3 , which auto selects the project and the issue type. I really would like to fill in more fields.

When viewing he page source, I can find this

Labels

Begin typing to find and create labels or press down to select a suggested label.

The Name of the labels is definitely labels, so I don't know what else is required to reference it.

I already tried &labels=New, didn't work. The page still shows labels as blank.
