How to set the default for the CR Type?
It is quite easy to set the default CR Type using setup in the Domain Setup Wizard (found at: Phire Architect > Architect Administration > Domain Setup Wizard). In that component, navigate to Step 3. Application Code Definitions, and open the section for the Change Request Types. Select the one to be used as the default, and save. Alternatively, you can have no default forcing the user to select from the available list before saving a new CR the first time.
