## Description

**As** an admin  
**I want to** define a default value for custom fields of type hierarchy and weighted item list  
**so that** those fields can be left empty on work package or project creation even when being required (❓is that really the use case of default ❓).

**Acceptance criteria**

*   As an admin I must be able to select a default value for a custom field of type hierarchy and weighted item list.
    
*   When submitting a creation request for a project or work package AND the custom field is configured to be required the default value must be assigned.
    
*   When showing a creation form for a project or work package AND the custom field is configured to be required the default value must be preselected.
    

**Additional information**

*   UI mockups needed
