Steps

The configuration holds the defaults that new release notes are created with, as described in Release Notes. It lives on the ReleaseNotes.Code.ReleaseNotesConfig page and is edited as an xobject, which requires an Advanced user profile.

1. Open the ReleaseNotes.Code.ReleaseNotesConfig page and choose "Objects" in the "Edit" menu.

   

2. Click "Force editing": the page ships with the extension, so XWiki asks for confirmation before letting you change it.

   

3. Set "Default Product Name" and "Template Reference" on the configuration object.

   

4. Click "Save & View".
5. The creation form on the application home page is now pre-filled with the product you set.

   

FAQ

Why is there no "Objects" entry in the "Edit" menu?

Your user profile is set to Simple, which hides the object editor. Set it to Advanced in your profile preferences.

Does changing the default product affect existing release notes?

No. It only pre-fills the creation form, so release notes already created keep the product they were created with.

Will an upgrade of the extension overwrite my configuration?

The configuration page is not declared customizable, so keep a note of both values and check them after upgrading.
