Is there a way to have no default option for the built in priority field?

Is there a way to have no default option for the built in priority field?

I'd like to have no default option selected so that it forces users to think about what priority should be set when creating an issue rather than just going with the default.

Strike that, you will have to add more code. The one I posted above removes the none option altogether!

I don't know of any method to add none option via GUI but you can change the default to say Minor or something else. To make None as default,

<option value="" selected="selected">$i18n.getText("common.words.none")</option>

add this instead of the above code and remove the following:

#if ($priority && $pr.getId() && $priority == $pr.getId()) selected="selected"#end

It will then force the user to select one.

Assuming I did this correctly, it just forced the top priority (blocker) to be the default in 6.3.15.

You will have to modify the edit priority template priority-edit.vm at atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/templates/jira/issue/field. Just remove the follwing:

#if ($displayParameters.displayNone)
<option value="">$i18n.getText("common.words.none")</option>
#end

Thanks Jobin, I'm guessing there's no way to actually do this through the built-in interface though is there?
