How do I eliminate <

[Legacy User]

I'm finding the following error in the logs "For Priority field could not transform_in()" when I'm trying to map between the default priority fields in QC and Rally for defects. I noticed that the following limitation exists with using the Rally to QC connector:

"IMPORTANT: The connectors are not able to handle drop-down fields in Rally which have a <<No Entry>> value in the UI (for example, the field is empty)."

Based on that information it would seem that this can be resolved by defaulting the priority field in Rally to a selection such as "Normal" so that "--No Entry--" isn't selected by default. How can this be done?

Joseph,

I am not aware of a way to set a default value for doropdown field. Although not ideal, the only option I see for you is to set the field in question as required preventing an empty value.

Thanks

I tried setting it to required, but it seems that the field still defaults to No Entry when creating a new defect in Rally. The same error is logged to the log file when I run the connector script.

Joseph,

You are correct that a required field will default to --No Entry--. However, the "Create" button will not be enabled until that field is populated with a value hence preventing any new items with "--No Entry--" selected.
