Groundwire/Volunteers-for-Salesforce — Issue #1: New Volunteer Hours from Shift doesn't fill in expected fields

If you are viewing a Volunteer Shift detail page, and you then click on the New Volunteer Hours button, the edit page comes up with Shift filled in, but the Job is not. If you click on the lookup button for Jobs, you get them all, rather than the job for the shift.

This is because we are using Salesforce's default functionality here, and they don't know that Job should get filled in by the shift's job in this scenario. Eric also expected the Start Date to also get filled in.

These smart defaults are handled in our Mass Edit Volunteer Hours page, but not for the normal Salesforce page.

Is there a way to override the button and add some parameters to the normal Salesforce page to get these fields filled in? Or are we forced to create our own page with logic to do this?
