Assign a Studio package to a generic user by default

Dear development team, when creating a project package, the assignment of said package to a user is mandatory. If for example an agency doesn’t bother with assigning the packages to specific users (or the user is not yet determined when the package is created), one can add a generic user, "Translator".

Trados Studio Ideas 'Users' dialog box showing a generic user named 'Translator' with empty email, phone, and description fields.

Unfortunately, the "Assign to" field is empty by default, which means the package creator needs to select a user for every single package he or she creates. Especially for projects with many target languages, this leads to a lot of clicks, which would not be necessary if the field weren't empty by default.

Create Project Package window with 'Assign to' field highlighted, showing it is empty by default and requires manual input for each package.

Could the "Assign to" field be made to work similarly to the "Customer" field in the project details when creating a new project, where the first entry (by alphabet) in the list is selected automatically?

Project details dialog box with 'Customer' field showing a dropdown menu where the first entry is selected automatically.

  • Hi all, we have a similar need: when we create packages for linguists, we always put Translator as the assignee. We are wondering if it would be possible to add a checkbox/button/option to input the assignee automatically to all languages at the same time on the Review Project Packages window. On a regular based we have project with about 20 languages, but more and more, we deal with projects containing 30+ languages and it would help us greatly if something like this could be implemented. Thanks for your time. Best, Chris
