Uncheck by default attributes to copy in the Create New Work Item Copy feature

We use the Create New Work Item Copy feature by clicking the button in the Web UI toolbar. When we do that we wish to copy certain fields to new work items, but rarely do we wish to copy all fields. (Otherwise we would need work item clone.) The problem is that until you reset the attributes to copy once, all attributes are copied over. This is causing us problems, as users sometimes forget to limit the fields copied over. And we have enumerations that should be set to Unspecified initially. (If you create a default initial value for an enumeration it will still get the value copied over from the previous work item in a work item copy.) Could you change the default to not copy over any fields, so that users are forced to choose the relevant fields. It looks like this might be hard-coded.
