Set Version "Default" via API

[Greg H]

Anyone know how to set a version as "Default" (the default version for new tickets) when creating or updating a version via XmlRpc API? There are ticket.version.create and ticket.version.update methods that accept 'attributes' so I'm guessing something can be passed in here to achieve this?

Try to omit "version" in the attributes parameter after setting default to one of versions in Manage Versions page.

[[[
$ cat body.json
{
"id": 42,
"method": "ticket.create",
"params": [
"summary",
"description",
{
"type": "task",
"priority": "minor"
}
]
}

$ curl -s -u admin:password -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data @body.json \
http://192.168.11.122:3000/tracenv/login/rpc
{"result": 3, "error": null, "id": 42}

$ curl -s -u admin:password -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
--data '{"method": "ticket.get", "params": [3]}' \
http://192.168.11.122:3000/tracenv/login/rpc | jq -M
{
"result": [
3,
{
"__jsonclass__": [
"datetime",
"2025-01-18T20:48:52.485867"
]
},
{
"__jsonclass__": [
"datetime",
"2025-01-18T20:48:52.485867"
]
},
{
"summary": "summary",
"reporter": "admin",
"owner": "< default >",
"description": "description",

"status": "new",
"priority": "minor",
"milestone": "",

"version": "2.0", # <== The default version is used

Sorry for the confusion. The "default to one of versions in Manage Versions page" is what I am trying to automate. I have a process to automatically generate versions via API, but we need to still manually mark them as "Default" instead of setting via API.

It is unable to set the default version of new ticket in Trac RPC.

Because it is need to set [ticket] default_version in trac.ini to
configure the default version of new ticket, but no method to
configure trac.ini in Trac RPC exists.
