To change the Opportunity standard fields

Question

while creating a new opportunity, in the edit mode below standard fields are mandatory

Can we modify these, in edit mode ? I want the opportinity to be bydefault some value say, " N/A", the closed date is " created date + 90 days" and stage is bydefault as " Qualification". We cant even hide those and need to put certain values. Is this possible to achieve this requirement by any code or trigger? Thanks

 

Answer 1

As far as "not making certain fields required," the answer is no. Without a Close Date, for example, the system wouldn't be able to generate Forecast Reports. For better or worse, you need a value in this field. As you've read, URL "hacks" can pre-populate these values, but you definitely cannot avoid these fields entirely.
