Setting Default values in portal form

I have a portal Master/Detail Form. I want to set some of the detail block columns value to the value of a field in the master block.
In the formattng option of the detail column, I tried setting default value to:
p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(p_block_name=>'MASTER_BLOCK', p_attribute_name=>'A_CLASS_CD');
and default value type to: function (I also tried expression). It compiles, but gives me an error when I ry running form. How can you set the default value (from the value of a differnt field)?

HI,
You can set the default value to value of a different field. The only way is to use javascript like onFocus.
Thanks,

Setting default value of Tabular form item is not working

Hi,
I have a tabular form and in that I want to set the default value of the username to app_user. So in the default value of the item, I wrote v('app_user') and type Pl/SQL, but that does not seem to work. I tried the static application & page item with :app_user. That threw an error.
Also, I wanted to populate the date field in one column. Doesn't sysdate work?
Thanks,
Sun

Bob, I did read that. MY problem is that it is still not working. I am wondering if this is because the table is in execute query mode maybe? I am wondering if the default value needs to be added after the tabular data is populated through some other way? Maybe the default value would work only for static non database items?
ThanksYou're right, I just tested that using the default setup on the column in report attributes and it did not work.
I think you'll have to update the columns with the default value post query but I'm not sure exactly what you need to do.
I have a form that has a weight entry column. I tried changing the query to set the default value in the query
from..
Select Weight
From...
to
Select 999.99 Weight
From...That appeared to work, but the 999.99 value was not populated back to the Database since it wasn't entered through the form UI. APEX maintains the entered values internally so it can do its checksumm processing and update modified rows back to the DB. I'm thinking you could update what needs to be updated using Javascript in a Dynamic Action, but I'm afraid I don't know how to do that.
Excuse my incorrect assumption when first replying.

Setting default value for form field assoc with a table column

On a "Create Record" situation I was trying to set the default values of some form fields using a page level "Process". These form fields have Source Type = Database Column. It wasn't working, I could only set non-db assoc form field values no matter when the "Process" was set to exec. From some other posts it seems that this is by design, ie. not being able to programatically set the initial values of form fields that are sourced to db columns. I was hoping to have just one "Process" that would exec to set these initial values in one place rather than scattered about for each field that needed a default value. These particular default values come from ref tables and may be different for each user.
So, it looks like I have to use a "Default Value" plsql chunk for each field on the form itself or else set their value on the calling form's Redirect in the "Set these Items" area.
Is this correct?

You could define a database function which accepts the name of the item and the user ID of the user running the application. Based on the item name and the user ID have the function return the appropriate initial value. Invoke this function in a "Default Value" PL/SQL block.
Does that help in centralizing your initial values? You could have one function per page or one function per application. I would do one function per application.

Setting default value based on Link

I have a report with a link to a form. The link is a standard portal component link.
The link passes in cus_id.
I would like to set the default value of the form cus_id field to the cus_id value from the link when the form is presented in insert mode due to the expected situation where no record for the cus_id exists.
I have tried using the following function in default value:
NVL(portal30.wwpro_api_parameters.get_value('A_CUS_ID','LEVEL_TWO_FORM'),0)
I have tried both CUS_ID and A_CUS_ID, but neither seems to return a value.
Any suggestions are much appreciated!

I was able to reproduce this. The problem occurs because when referencing another page def (binding container) than the current one, this binding container needs to be "prepared" which is done by calling method refreshControl() on the binding container. For binding containers of parent groups, JHeadstart automatically prepares them as prat of the prepareModel phase of the current binding container. However, when clicking the AddRow button, this is too late, the default value expression is evakluated before the prepareModel phase.
A simple work around is to manually add the value binding "masterField" and its iterator binding to the page definition of the detail group. You can then use the expression "#{bindings.masterfield.inputValue} and that should work.
Note that in JHeadstart 10.1.3.3, we will add a "jhsPageDefs" managed bean that extends HashMap, which allows you to retrieve "prepared" binding containers. You can then use the expression
#{jhsPageDefs['MasterWizardGroupPageDef'].masterfield.inputValue}

HELP - i can't set field value in a form

Hi,
I created a form based on a stored procedure.
I try to set a field value on this form( the name of the item in the wizard is 'P_GG') from the advanced PL/SQL SECTION in the wizard, and, for exact, in "... before displaying the page..." i wrote:
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => 'DEFAULT',
p_attribute_name => 'A_P_GG',
p_value => '20');
But when I run the form the field is blank
Thank for everyone reply and help me.
Simone Mancino

Dmitry,
thank u for your reply.
I tried your solution, but there is another problem. I specified a default value for the form, using the syntax "#myfunction()".
The first time I run the form, i get the correct value. But whenever i run the form again in the same session, I always get the FIRST value: it looks like the function is not evaluated again. For example, suppose the function is
return to_char(SYSDATE, 'SS')
(just to have a random dynamic value);
you always get the value of the first run, even if you refresh the page.
Regards
Simone

I need default values for APEX form fields. How do I do this?

Hello,
I am trying to set a default value in my form so that there will not get a null value. I have gone to the Column Defaults page and filled out the following fields in From Defaults:
Default Value: 0
Required: Yes
Help Text: Please enter a number.
When I add a record set or update a record and do not fill in the field, neither does it prompt me to fill it in or has a default value. It is blank.
Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?
Thanks
leh

Hi leh,
Defaults:
Click on the page item, go to the Default section, enter your value into the Default value area.
Validations:
It's not quite as automatic as you are thinking.
You'll need to add a Validation process for the item.
First you go to the Page Processing section, then the Validations section, click the creation icon in the Validation section. You will first have the choice to create an item level or page level validation. Either will work. Next you will select the item you want to validate. Then, select Item Not Null. On one of the next pages you will be able to enter the error message. It's all pretty straightforward.

MASTER DETAIL - SET DEFAULT VALUES FOR ITEMS

I have a master detail page where on the master I do things like updating the entered_by and entered_date fields
by applying functions to set the item level details and the setting them to read only.
On the detail portion of the page I'd like to do the same but I don't see the details items on the page - only the master items.
The details portion is for comments so I'd like to have the commenter_name and commenter_date set to defined values
when I hit the add row button on the details portion.
Where are the detail items?
I'm using APEX 3.2
Thanks
Steve

Hi,
When you use master detail form, APEX generate 'Detail portion' as report. So if you edit the page, you may not see actual items for 'detail portion'.
If you want to set any default values or want to format these items, you may need to do as follows
1> Edit 'report' of 'detail portion'
2> Click on report attributes
3> Click on column, you want to set default values
4> Now here, Under 'Tabular Form Element' section you can do this by setting proper values to 'default type' and 'default' fields.
Hope it helps
Cheers

SDK: set default value to "managed by inventory" option when item creation.

Currently, my customer wants to set default value (as true) to "managed by inventory" option under inventory tab when item creation.
My question.
1. how to detect item master form in add/find.
2. how to set option default to be true.
Regards,
Kenneth Tse

Hi Kenneth
Okay, you need to do the following.
1) You need to see when the item menu opens and what mode it is in and then do the event. So in itemevent uou'll have code similar to
If (FormType = "AddMov" And pval.FormMode="Your Mode") then
***your code
end if
You can also just see the form and chesh the caption of the button.
2) to do the second part,
        Dim oitem As SAPbobsCOM.Items
        oitem = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oItems)
        If oitem.GetByKey("Item Code") Then
            oitem.GLMethod = SAPbobsCOM.BoGLMethods.glm_WH
        End If
Hope this helps

Need to set default value in table EABL.

Hi Experts,
How to set default value of field ATIM form 00:00 to 23:59 ion field selection screen for table EABL in transaction SE16?

hi jazz try this way.

by now i think your are familiar with shd0.
firstly create a variant using shd0 for your table eabl with default value and save it and activate it.
next check whether it is working or not by opening se11 or 14 and enter table name and click display, the you can you see your default vale in your required field.
after it is done the come to second part i.e your se16.
now create another variant for this and save it and activate it.
(by this i mean to say you are creating two variants )
hope this will solve your problem.
if your purpose is not solved yet then please write to my mbox.

Set Default Value of Multi-select list item

I have a multi-select list item I want to default the value of to '%' (which is really '%null%') and have it selected. I tried setting default value of item, but it doesn't take '%null%'. I also tried a computation with a static of
:P507_ITEM := '%null%'; How do you get the default value set and selected?

Hi
Shijesh is right, you need to change your null return value and use that return value as your default. Try and use something of the same datatype as your real return values if you plan to use '%' to display all as it will make your queries simpler. eg.
Company A returns 1
Company B return 2
% returns 0
Then your query would be...
SELECT ...
FROM ...
WHERE company_id = DECODE(:P_COMPANY,1,1,2,2,0,company_id)
Hope this makes sense.
Cheers

Hi,
According to your description, you want to set default value for TaxonomyWebTaggingControl.
I have a test in my environment. It could be achieved by setting the Text Property of TaxonomyWebTaggingControl.
Here is the code snippet:
TaxonomySession session = new TaxonomySession(SPContext.Current.Site);
SPSite site = SPContext.Current.Web.Site;
TermStore termStore = session.TermStores["Managed Metadata Service"];
Group group = termStore.Groups["GroupA"];
TermSet termSet = group.TermSets["A"];
Term term = termSet.Terms["A1"];
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.SspId.Add(termStore.Id);
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.SSPList = termStore.Id.ToString();
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.TermSetId.Add(termSet.Id);
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.TermSetList = termSet.Id.ToString();
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.AllowFillIn = true;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.IsAddTerms = true;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.IsMulti = false;
TaxonomyWebTaggingControl1.Text = string.Format("{0}|{1}", term.Name, term.Id.ToString());
Here is a detailed article for your reference:

How to set default values for boolean columns

I'm trying to deploy some content types and columns into a site with a feature. All it's ok, except that I'm trying to set a default value for boolean columns with no success.
I've tried to set default value at column level:
<Field ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DisplayName="Se publican noticias en español"
Type="Boolean" Hidden="FALSE" Group="Columnas ShaCon" >
<Default>TRUE</Default>
</Field>
and at content type level:
<FieldRef ID="{EFE23A1D-494E-45cf-832E-45E41B17F0CF}" Name="ScopeSpanish" DefaultValue="TRUE" Required="TRUE" />
But in any case, when i create a new item with this content type, default value is applied.
Can anyone tell how to set default values for boolean columns?
Thanks in advance,

How to set default value to input field

Hi Experts,
I need to set default value to one input field for the transaction crmd_order as a screen variant. Guide me in doing that.
Regards,
Harish

Using the transaction SHD0, you can define the screen variant. While defining the sceen variant, you are allowed to define the default values.
Using screen variant, for the main transactoin, you can also define the transaction variant and you can use this as an independent transaction.
