--- Comment #1 from Katrin Fischer <katrin.fischer at bsz-bw.de> ---
What we do is make the item type mandatory in the frameworks. That way you
can't catalog an item without an item type, but you have to consciously pick.
With a default that is applied automatically it would be really hard to find
cataloguing mistakes. Also, Koha already uses the item type from the framework
942$c as a default 'suggestion' when you catalog a new item and you can add a
default in the framework to enforce a default.

I am not sure we need an additional setting? 

Maybe it would be good to change the default frameworks to make item type a
mandatory field?
