I try to add TSConfig:

# Set default values
TCAdefaults {
tt_news {
category = 1
}
}

But it does not works! Category is empty for new items.

I re-discovered this TSConfig magic too a week ago. You can fiddle with the complete TCA. One thing I use for tt_news is: // Set default values TCAdefaults { tt_news { hidden = 0 author = Michiel Roos author_email = michiel@typofree.org } } And the realy good thing is that in the recent TYPO3 incarnations you can also use TCAdefaults in page TSConfig. So you no longer have to fiddle with a group 'general settings' or a group 'all', just add the TCAdefaults to the news folder or root page. Good tip!
