Can I set the Work Log tab under activities to appear selected by default

[clair clark]

Currently under activities, the comments tab is shown by default.

Can I set the Work Log tab to be shown by default?

Thanks

This is fairly simple. All you need to do is to modify the /atlassian-jira-5.0-JQLT/atlassian-jira/WEB-INF/classes/system-issuetabpanels-plugin.xml file as follows:

Remove the following line:

<default>true</default>

from

<issue-tabpanel key="comment-tabpanel"

and put it under

<issue-tabpanel key="worklog-tabpanel"

That worked perfectly - thank you

Is there any way to configure this only for a specific project or issue type?
