Description

At least for thomas-watson, we'd like to get rid of the Activity dropdown - the one that selects from Design or Development - when adding time (or comments?) to an issue; it's serving for nothng but annoying us and occasionally breaking an update attempt.

Discovered that activity is not a database item ... and it is implemented with a plugin "acts_as_activity_provider". I'd like to just set the value from the form and make that entry field invisible, but I'm not sure how to "look up" a value to set it to.
activity_id is marked as required for time_entry, so probably the impact of leaving it "nil" is not an option.

While searching for the string "design" in the redmine directory, discovered that searches in the sessions directory get lost in a tar-pit ... that directory is huge. Opening another ticket for looking into that ...

It was as simple as clicking "default" in the Settings/Enumerations/Development page.

I had made the change in code:
redmine/lib/redmine/default_data/loader.rb:
Enumeration.create!(:opt => "ACTI", :name => l(:default_activity_design), :position => 1)
Enumeration.create!(:opt => "ACTI", :name => l(:default_activity_development), :position => 2, :is_default => true)

(add :is_default to development)

but it didn't propagate to the database just by running ruby ... and I didn't think about it having to propagate to the database so kept looking for ways to make it stick :-(

It turned out there was an admin page for that anyway.

I'm not sure if I should "make it permanent" by editing the lib/redmine/default_data/loader.rb file. When I had done that, it was on my development copy of redmine. It has not been done in the production copy.
