Set Ship Bundle Items to default to "Separately"

Question

Is there any way I can set the setting for bundle items "Ship Bundle Items" to "Separately" by default when new bundle products are created? Currently, it automatically sets this option to Together.

In eav_attribute table, I found the shipmnet_type and set default value to 1, but it did not have any effect.

Answer 1

This is an old question and Magento 2 is out now, so I will answer this for Magento 2.

If you change the "default_value" column in the eav_attribute table for the shipment_type attribute, the "Ship Bundle Items" dropdown will default to "Separately" when creating a new bundle product.
