Creating specific document parameters from another document

Hi

I apologise for the confusing heading.

If I have a custom doctype “Doc-A” that has a field “Project”. The filter for the “Project” field is set to allow only Projects of "Project Type = Type1. My perception was that , if I have Doc-A open and I click on the Project field and select “Create new Project” in the drop-down, then a new Project will be created and Project Type will be set to Type1. i.e. the filters play a role in the “creating-new” actions

This does not happen. Was I unreasonable in my expectation? Because that is the flow that I would like to see !!!
