Auto Populate Pick List at the Opportunity Product Line-Item Level

How do I auto populate a custom field (pick list) at the Opportunity Product line-item level based on the product that is selected.  That is, when I "Add Product" to an Opportunity, I would like two fields at the line item level to be already pre selected.  How would I go about accomplishing this?  I am using the professional edition.

Is this a matter of building out an s-control?  Does anyone have any suggestions...

You can't do exactly this, at least not without triggers. Some non-coding alternatives that come to mind:

 

1. Make the picklist have all the values that you could want no matter which product is picked, and then not have a default value, but make validation rule that checks the picklist choice makes sense given the product selected

 

2. If the picklist value is left blank, have a workflow rule that automatically sets the picklist to a specific value based on which product was selected.
