Dynamic Default Values

[anonymous]

In the config file, we have options to provide default values for multiple fields. It appears that these can only be string literals though.

Is it possible, or easy to implement, a dynamic default value.

More specific:

The way I have permissions set-up, there are several groups. Each user belongs to one of these groups, and has no other permissions set.

I want this group to be the default value for a field, so that we can later sort them by what group/company these tickets originated from.

thanks

Somehow related to #4374 and #4549. Though in this case, I'd rather see something like a custom Property and reimplementation of render_selector (see FieldRefactoring#Proposal).

Well I've hacked together a plug-in to implement this specific request, but a more general (and elegant) solution would be nice for the future.

I'm a little unclear about the request, but I believe that ​th:TracTicketChainedFieldsPlugin implements the desired functionality.

I think I looked for a solution for this problem for at least 4 hours now and I cannot find any trac-hack nor anything else how to realise this functionality. TracTicketChainedPlugin doesnt have the functionality to have default field values based on username or group or permission. Please … this feature is needed badly.

@anonymous: Could you provide me with this plugin of yours? I hope its compatible to 0.11.
