How can I change the status when an issue is created?

[glenn bernsohn]

I'd like to use a status other than "Open" when a new issue is created. How can I do that?

Thanks.

Edit the workflow, find "open" and you'll be able to see the "create" transition. Edit that, and you can change the endpoint. Or, you can associate a different status with the "Open" step

Thanks Nic !!! I've been struggling with the admin aspects in jira.

Solution from Nic worked like a charm. Thanks.

Hi Glenn,

To tag an issue with something other then Open, you need to create a Workflow Scheme (or edit the default one).
