How do I set the default project avatar?

[Edwin Chan]

The default project avatar is the avatar that is selected automatically in the Add Projects screen. In our JIRA 4.3.4, that is the blue rocket. What if I wanted the avatar to default to the bird, how would I do that?

The property key I was looking for is 'jira.avatar.default.id'. Unfortunately, it will not be picked up from jira-application.properties. So I had to do it through the database instead:

UPDATE propertystring
SET propertyvalue = '10001'
WHERE ID = (SELECT ID FROM propertyentry WHERE PROPERTY_KEY = 'jira.avatar.default.id')

Replace 10001 with the project avatar ID that can be found in the avatar table.

We build the WAR for our install, so I cheated and over-rode it by sticking our default logo over the top of the default

I don't believe that this is possible at this time, although it would be a nice feature to have the the jira-application.properties file.
