Recently when creating a new email message the "template category" field is empty by default while it was "- All -" before. Since this field is mandatory users are now suddenly required to fill this field and since for some reason "- All -" can't be auto completed with tab they have to select it from the list which takes a few seconds. I've tried setting it through suitescript but since "- All - " apparently doesn't really have a value that doesn't work. The message record also doesn't support workflows (I can't select it under "record type"). Does anyone know of a way to make "- All -" the default value again?

I had this at a previous job. I came up with a pretty hacky solution of using a user event before load on the message record to inject some client side code into an inlinehtml field that would set the field to 'All'.

Wow that seems crazy enough to work, I will try that
