On the Fields - (Default values) tab, you can assign values to be applied to certain fields on synced issues. When you configure a default field value for a project, it will be applied to all new issues created by the synchronization in that instance.
This feature is especially useful when:
-
There are required fields on the target instance that must be filled for issue creation.
-
You want to ensure that a consistent default is applied to all synchronized issues created by Backbone.
