You could create a constant in your ServiceDesk or OpenServiceDesk
model (not sure how you've set your models up)...
class ServiceDesk < ActiveRecord::Base
DEFAULTS = {:service_desk_status_id => 1, :service_desk_category_id
=> 1, :service_desk_sub_category_id => 1}
end
Then in your controller you could use
yourobject.service_desk_status_id = DEFAULTS[:service_desk_status_id]
Perhaps there's a good argument against using a constant like this, I
don't know, but to me it looks like a pretty simple way to do it.
Or, as Fred suggested, create a migration to make the DB handle the
default values, like so:
change_column :tablename, :service_desk_status_id, :integer, :default
=> 1
