Is there a way when creating a new issue to put it in Ready (vs backlog)?

[Leah]

Every time I create an issue it is automatically placed in the Backlog. Is there a way to have it either default to, or set it at the time of creation, to land in the Ready column?

Better yet, I'd like to have the option to put it in Ready or the Backlog at the time of creation.

I am an admin, so permissions are not an issue. 

thanks!

Consider using automation. 

Trigger - issue created 

conditions - as needed to only change to ready if appropriate 

action - transition to ready

hmmm that's an interesting solution, thanks @Jack Brickey I'll give it a shot
