I need to set a default person to approve the workitems in my project (e.g. when a new defect is created, the default approver should be automatically added). I know that templates exist, my problem with using templates is, that I have to fill the "required" fields, which I'd like to keep empty on creation of the workitem.
Is there a way to either add a default approver without using templates or keep "required" fields empty when creating workitem templates?
Every answer is appreciated.
