blank out assigned to field when creating task

Whenever a new Task is created the assigned to (ownerid) field is filled in on the edit page. Is there a way to leave this blank by default and force the user to select a user? The only solution I've found so far is re-creating the edit page as a visualforce page.

It can not be achieved through standard functionality. You need to build a custom VF page for this.

Yes, that's exactly what we needed. Thanks a bunch!

 

tsk1 - text in the input box
tsk1_lkid - actual lookup value - should be a salesforce ID
