Polarion: Set default approver for workitems

I need to set a default person to approve the workitems in my project (e.g. when a new defect is created, the default approver should be automatically added). I know that templates exist, my problem with using templates is, that I have to fill the "required" fields, which I'd like to keep empty on creation of the workitem.

Is there a way to either add a default approver without using templates or keep "required" fields empty when creating workitem templates?

Every answer is appreciated.

    You can add the default approvers to workitems by editing the workflow script (for initial status).

    For this to work you have to add the "AddDefaultApprovals" function and the parameter "approvals.roles" with your default approver role as the parameter value. Alternatively you can add specific users as approvers by using the "approvals.users" parameter.
