Plugin that allows setting start statuses for tracker’s workflow.
It also makes it possible to set multiple “default” issue statuses that will be used if no start statuses were set for a tracker.
Note that the current implementation of start statuses is broken in Redmine (as I see it) .In short when you create an issue, by clicking on ‘New issue’ option (before saving it) ,Redmine creates internally an issue (in memory) sets it’s status to the default one (most likely ‘New’) and calles ‘new_allowed_statues’ on this object.In effect the options for statuses for issue creation the user gets are actually the statuses that are allowed to transition to from the default (the ‘New’)!.
This plugin by the way also fixes this problem since the new issue’s status option will be either ones configured for the plugin or default ones which now are allowed to be multiple.
