Change Default "Work" Value?

Hello Doug,

As far as I know, there is no option field to specify the work default value.

You can create a workflow to do this (On Workitem creation, define Work to the value you want). Unfortunately, there is a conflict if you use DataLoader to create workitem, as the workflow will override the values you try to import.

If your WorkPolicy is set to "Fixed Duration", the Work will change when you change the task duration, so maybe you want to define the default value of duration instead?

There is actually one way besides a workflow rule, but it will recalculate all of your existing work. You can go to Global Settings >> Calendar (Edit) >> Calendar Settings... and change the field called "# Default Hours in a day:"  This will default the work to whatever you set in here, but it is a global change to the whole account. I think a WF rule would be a safer way to go that would also provide more control.
