No, it doesn't exist. This is a feature I have been asking
for for a while.
(Does that sound right...?) They added the capability to
modify jobspecs in
98.1, and I would like to see the same thing for
changelists. You're not
alone in your requests for this feature.
Agreed, it would be a nice built-in capability, but one way to
implement this (as we do here) is to spoof it by having your users all
set P4EDITOR to point to a program of yours that customizes the forms
sent by Perforce.
Having all users do anything means there will be a lot of problems with
consistency.
A server side configuration is more robust by far. It would be nice to have
a server side configuration for almost everything, like turning off polling
of the server for updates, etc.
