Body: <p>Trying to speed up data entry in back end, by pre-filling 4 custom fields in the case, using rules, the defaults would vary based on encounter medium.  I can only seem to update the case status using an action.  I looked at creating new rule action but couldn't find any instructions I understood.  Is there a better way to do this or can someone point me at some simple instructions?</p>
