We use custom fields to effect an assigned team and watching teams based on Project. Before upgrading to 5.2.11 users would click the 'Create Issue' link and be asked about Project and Issue type before the main dialog for creating issues loaded. When this was done our customized defaults for these custom fields was prepopulated. The Project type was not mutable after making this selection. Now the user specifies the Project on the main dialog, and nothing triggers our defaults to load.
Is there a way to configure the behaviour of the 'Create Issue' link (not by writing a plugin) to achieve the prior functionality? or perhaps there is something to configure so that the change to Project will re-execute the configured Custom field defaults?
