Setting the ITSM WorkLog to default to "Locked" is notoriously difficult.
There is OOB workflow that wants to force Locked to be "No" regardless of
the user's choice.  What we did to accomplish this is:

1.  Set the default to the Locked field (z1D_Secure_Log) to "Yes" on
HPD:Help Desk, or wherever.
2.  Disable the OOB AL that wants to force them all to unlocked:
SHR:SHR:NewLogNotEqualSecure_101
3.  For good measure we added a filter to HPD:WorkLog (and others) that sets
'Secure Work Log' = "Yes" on Submit.  We did this because there seemed to be
some hard to pin down scenarios where just disabling the above AL did not
seem to work.  This may be overkill for you.

This was with ARS 7.x and ITSM 7.0.3 various patches.

Chuck Baldi
