Through JIRA configuration, you may create a post function on the Create transition of a given Issue Type that sets the Fix Version field, but you must specify a set value and it will apply everywhere for that Issue Type or at least Projects configured to utilize that issue type scheme.

If you do not wish to use the Fix Version field for whatever reason, you can remove the field from your configuration and screens. To be honest, I thought JIRA Core excluded this field by default...

For anyone seeing this in 2025 I was able to accomplish this with an Automation. Post function hooks were not working for me on a create transition. I kept getting the error that the create original issue function needed to come first even when it did come first. Setting up an automation to set the fix version on issue create was straightforward enough.

I could not set a value to the fix version field since it does not appear as an option in the post function fields.

I can see it under "update field" when choosing a post function.

Hello,

My response is probably coming late but I would like to share my workaround.

I simply created a custom field which is based on values provided in Version (Project Settings), I created a context for this field related to the project and there I was able to define a default value for this custom field. A the end I just copy value from this field to fixVersion field during issue creation transition. I used a plug-in workflow post function but it is may available in native Jira post-functions.

No code required and works fine!!

Thanks for the answer! the solution sounds nice.

Also extremely late, but I don't understand why you would want a default on the fixversion. You don't know when it will be fixed.
I guess you would like to set a default 'affects version' being the latest released version
