On creation of an issue, can I automatically assign this to my 'To Do' status and bypass backlog?

[tessa]

I would like to know if it's possible to create an automation rule so that when I create issues, they would automatically appear in the 'To Do' workflow status (first workflow step) rather than the requirement to move each task from the backlog. 

Is this possible? Would appreciate any advice on this. 

Thank you,

Hi Rob,

Since Tests, Pre-Conditions, Test Sets, Test Executions and Test Plans are issue types, you may add custom fields to them as means to add additional information. Thus, you may add an "RFC ID" custom field to them if you want.

Concerning Test Runs, since they are not issues, and while we don't have parameters at the Test Run level, you may add that reference in the comments (i..e in the global comment) of the Test Run.

In your case you may decide to add that RFC ID just on some of the entities; if you're working using Sprints, you may just add the RFC ID to the user stories and somehow they will be implicitly affecting the related entities (in other words, you may always come to the requirement to see the RFC ID from a Test, or from a Test inside a Test Set/Test Execution/Test Plan).
