# Customization: Setting Test Case fields with default values

The *Field defaults* customization can be used to initialize arbitrary Test Case fields that are otherwise would not be updated by SpecSync to a default value. This might be useful for custom Jira process templates.

{% hint style="info" %}
The *Field defaults* customization described here is an [Enterprise feature](/specsync/jira/licensing.md).
{% endhint %}

In order to enable this customization, the `customizations/fieldDefaults` section of the configuration has to be enabled. The complete reference of the configuration settings can be found in the [customizations configuration reference](/specsync/jira/reference/configuration/configuration-customizations.md#fielddefaults).

The following example shows a basic configuration that initializes the field `MyCompany.MyCustomField` to `value1`.

```javascript
{
  ...
 "customizations": {
    "fieldDefaults": {
      "enabled": true,
      "defaultValues": {
        "MyCompany.MyCustomField": "value1"
      }
    }
  }
  ...
}
```

This customization uses the specified values only to \_initialize \_the field when the Test Case is created. To update custom fields, use the [*Custom field updates* customization](/specsync/jira/features/push-features/customization-update-custom-test-case-fields-on-push.md).
