538449 - Allow specifying a default version for new bugs

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 45043

(Bugzilla :: Creating/Changing Bugs, defect)

Description

[TT]

There is no way to specify a default version number on a per-product basis when creating a bug.  The code which determines the version number (in enter_bug.cgi) has these comments:

# IF this is a cloned bug,
# AND the clone's product is the same as the parent's
#   THEN use the version from the parent bug
# ELSE IF a version is supplied in the URL
#   THEN use it
# ELSE IF there is a version in the cookie
#   THEN use it (Posting a bug sets a cookie for the current version.)
# ELSE
#   The default version is the last one in the list (which, it is
#   hoped, will be the most recent one).
#
# Eventually maybe each product should have a "current version"
# parameter.

Notice the last line.  I think it's high time that Bugzilla implemented this suggestion.

The reason this is a problem for me is that I want to have "unspecified" be the default version, but I can't figure out how to make that the "last" version in the list.

Reproducible: Always
