How do I set a value for a hidden required field?
In this case its for forms for a Service Desk portal I want the component field to be hidden and required for some forms and I want to preset its value in each form.
I get the message that a value is required for a hidden field but the 'edit field' interface doesn't allow me to set its value.
I found had to set up the components first. After that 'edit field' allowed me to pick from a picklist to set the hidden value.

Go to administration - Issues - Custom Fields, look up your field and go to configure field (on the right by the cog). Then set default value.

Thanks Bart. Component is not a custom field though, its one of the standard fields.
I could use a custom field instead - I'll try it.

For component it is a bit harder indeed, i think the only way to set a default for standard fields is by scripting it in. Might be easier to create a custom field that does what you want.

I have multiple projects that use variations of the same base workflow. The variations depend on the requirements of the project or issue type. The variations mostly come in the form of new statuses ...
