The dialog is accessed by clicking the  button in the Revision ID field of the Edit Item dialog (right-click on an Item in the Vaults panel then choose Properties).

Access to the Set initial values dialog is only possible provided you have enabled the Allow manual initial revision Id option, on the Data Management – Vaults page of the Preferences dialog.
