defaultFields/defaultValues

Comma-separated lists of fields and values that are automatically entered when creating (or updating) a record.

Syntax

defaultFields: A comma-separated list of fields (<field name or number>) that receive the values defined in defaultValues.

defaultValues: A comma-separated list of values to be used.

If a value contains a comma, you need to escape it with \. Quotes are not supported as string delimiters.

Specify catalog values as #<catalogCode>. Use #<childCode>~#<parentCode> to specify values of hierarchical catalogs. For variable catalogs you can also specify the external key using the syntax EXT:<external key> (e.g. EXT:100_4_61).

Specify values for Boolean fields as true and false.

defaultValues supports the following variables: $curRep, $curOrgGroup, $curMyLeader, $curSuperior, $curMyDeputy, $curExtGroup, LOGINLANGUAGE.

Example (KM)

defaultFields = FreeC1,FreeC2,Product,Problem,Status,ProcessedByID,FreeL1,FreeL2

defaultValues = my text,my other text\, including a comma...,#1~#8,#2~#1,#1,$curRep,true,false

Escaping commas and quotes in the default values

In the above example for the default value for the FreeC2 field includes the comma by escaping it. Similarly, to include the single quote in a default value, you have to ensure that the single quote is escaped in a safe manner. Consider the following example, for a merge process. To get the default value of a record, instead of using a value like this:

"2:'"+$.get('2')+"';5:'"+$.get('5')+"'; 8:'"+$.get('8')+"'; 1:'"+$.get('1')+"';<>;"

use: [2,5,8,1].map(function(fieldId){ return fieldId + ":" + JSON.stringify($.get(fieldId)); }).join(";") + ":<>;"

This will ensure that the single quote is escaped properly and the default value is rendered correctly.
