CUP 5.3 SP8 - Custom Fields - Default Value?

Hello,
Can I set a Default Value for a Custom Field? For example, we have the Custom Field for requets called "Country." Can I default this so when a user logs in to create a request, it defaults to "North America." ?
I'm looking through the Config Guide and not seeing anything on this. Custom Fields don't show up in End User Personalization either...
Thanks!
Jes Behrens

Jes,
Harleen is correct. This is no available in AC (CUP) right now. Hopefully, SAP fixes this soon. Can you open a message with SAP and see if they are going to fix this or not?

Mandatory custom metadata field with current system date as default value.

I want to create a custom metadata field of type Date. I want to make it mandatory and want to set its default value as system date.
I have already created field of type Date. What expression I should write to make system date as default value?
Because its a mandatory field, what would happen to existing content. Will there metadata get updated?
Thanks

Check in Similar not populating custom metadata value set by global rule

I have created a global rule to set the default value for custom metadata field creation date as current system date.This rule is working fine for normal check in but when i am using check in similar functionality of ucm the creation date value is getting populated from original content metadata value instead of default value set by rule.Is there any way to populate creation date as default value set by rule even in the check in similar function.
Thanks in advance!!!

Check-in similar does not evaluate scripts in the "use defaultvalue" field, as it has to copy metadata values. However, you can add script to the "Is derived field" as well. Just don't use dprDefaultValue but dprDerivedValue=
This script will be evaluated before check-in operation and any value contained in the metadata field will be overwritten with value defined by script.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.

Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

Custom CAPI service - default value of varchar2 parameter

I have a Custom CAPI Service function. That function has a varchar2 parameter (argument) and I wish to set a default value NULL for that parameter.
I set Default=null, and when I generate CAPI package, my function in that package looks like this (notice the quotation marks around null):
function cs_cjn_prod_cijena
( p_nacin_prodaje in varchar2 default 'null'
return number
is ...
And it should look like this:
function cs_cjn_prod_cijena
( p_nacin_prodaje in varchar2 default null
return number
is ...
I tried setting Default Value Type to Literal, Database Function Call, Client Function Call, but it's always the same thing.
If that parameter was number or date it would generate ok.
It seems like the bug in "Generate CAPI Definition" Headstart Utility.
I know that I can make my function's code to treat the string 'null' as a null default value, but I'd like to have a "real" null as a default value.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
Thanks!
Dalibor

Marcel,
Thank you for your answer, but it didn't help. I have already tried using Database Function Call. This time I tried deleting the CAPI package from repository before generating it again, like you suggested, but it didn't help.
I still get: p_nacin_prodaje in varchar2 default 'null'
Which version of Create CAPI Definition utility do you have?
My version is: HSU_CAPI, Revision: 6.5.2.0 ("Help/About This Utility" in Headstart Utilities application)
Thanks again,
Dalibor

Using a Table as a Default Value in a Custom List

Hi,
I am trying to create a list for users to fill out that utilizes multiple tables for data entry. I would like to set the table to be the default value for the field in order to have consistency across submissions and for ease of use. I have tried using HTML
code for the table as well as copying the HTML markup from inserted tables in the field but I have been unable to generate a table in the field by default. I have tried this in both the web based editor and Sharepoint Designer 2010.
Thanks!

Hi aelawler,
Which type field did you use for storing the table? Please try to create a site column using Publishing HTML type or Enhanced rich text, and add the column to the list, use it to store the table. Test it using your method, compare the result.
Here is a post about setting default value for enhanced rich text, please pay attention to Amit's reply:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/a6b5614d-ae45-4e2f-af0e-7e1887b05f60/set-default-value-to-enhanced-rich-text-box?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
If it doesn’t work, I think, you need to create a custom field type to store the table, and set default value for it. You can try to create it based on the Publishing HTML or Enhanced rich text type.
Create a custom field type in SharePoint 2010

Setting Default values for field using custom.pll

Hi All,
I have an rquirement to set the default values on Meterial Tranasction screen for some condition
I tried it in both ways via Form Personalization and using custom.pll
i m using the following code in custom.pll
form_name      varchar2(30):= name_in('system.current_form');
block_name varchar2(30):= name_in('system.cursor_block');
trx_type           varchar2(30);
subinv                varchar2(30);
begin
if form_name='WIPTXMAT' and block_name ='MTL_TRX_LINE' then
if event_name ='WHEN-VALIDATE-RECORD' then
     trx_type:=name_in('WIPTXMAT.TRANSACTION_TYPE');
if trx_type ='WIP Return' THEN
     copy(10,'MTL_TRX_LINE.TRANSACTION_QUANTITY');
          copy(10,'MTL_TRX_LINE.NUMBER_OF_LOTS_ENTERED');
          sinv:=trim(name_in('MTL_TRX_LINE.SUBINVENTORY_CODE'));
          if sinv is null then
               copy(subinv,'MTL_TRX_LINE.SUBINVENTORY_CODE');
               copy(fr_locator,'MTL_TRX_LINE.LOCATOR');
               FND_MESSAGE.SET_STRING(sinv);
               FND_MESSAGE.SHOW;
          end if;
     end if;
end if;
end if;
end event;
Problem is that default values are getting set but not for all rows . if there are 4 records then values are set for only first 2 rows and if there are 2 rows then defaults are set for 1st row only.
Same behaviour happens when i do it via form personalization
i couldn't understand the behaviour of WHILE-VALIDATE-RECORD event..
Please provide some suggestion on it. its really urgent.
Thanks in Advance

Default value in custom field in webdynpro screen

Hi.
We have added a custom field in the Item level for Shopping Cart (SRM 7.1).
I however want a default value to show up or get populated in that custom field all the time. What is the best way to achieve this?
Thanks.
Anuradha.

depends upon how you have added it.
if its just though the structures and not added in the WD then you need to do it with doc-change badi.. and this is a preferred option.
if you have done it though WD then you can default the values using the post exits in the INIT method.
you can check if the value is blank then populate this default value (so that it does not overwrite the edited values).
moreover, do you want it as a non editable field or just a default value which user can change on the screen as well?

New Customer Field in Shopping Cart (SRM) with default value

We have requirement to add new Customer field in Shopping cart (SRM 4.0) and assign a default value to it.
We have added the custom field and also assigned default value 'X' to it using BADI BBP_CUF_BADI_2 method MODIFY_OUTPUT. Problem we are facing is in case user changes the value and unchecks the custom field then it gets overwritten by default value once the shopping cart is saved. We have followed steps mentioned in link below in order to add custom field and populate it.

KR Jaideep,

Hi,
In badi BBP_CUF_BADI_2, method MODIFY_OUTPUT,
are you doing something like this?
CASE IV_FIELDNAME.
WHEN 'YOUR_CUSTOM_FIELD'.
    IF IV_VALUE IS INITIAL.
      MOVE 'YOUR_DEFAULT_VALUE' TO EV_VALUE.
    ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Best regards.

Get value based on column names for custom metadata field of Webcenter Content

In UCM, I created a custom metadata field of type Text. I then enabled optlist in that field. I populate values to the optList, I am using a View. The View has three columns. Let us call them ID, Key, Value. OptList displays the Keys in its list. I then create a Content (Content ID: MyContent) in Webcenter Content and choose values from OptList for my new metadata field (MyField).
From Webcenter Portal, I am populating a selectOneChoice with values of MyField in the Content ID: MyContent. Remember from previous step, the values populated in selectOneChoice is the list of values selected from optList field MyField. This optList is in-turn populated from View. After the user selects a value in selectOneChoice, in Javascript, I need to alert a message in this format "value chosen - corresponding value from View of optList that populates MyField"
I think an example will be useful:
Here is a View that I created in Configuration Manager applet in Admin Applets of Webcenter Content:
ID | State | Capital
1 | North Carolina | Raleigh
2 | California | Sacramento
3 | Illinois | Chicago
Then, I create a Custom Field (Name: MyField). MyField is an optList the values are populated from View created above. The internal value and display value are both State. Then I Check-In a new content with Content Id: MyContent. For MyContent, I select these values from OptList for MyField: {North Carolina, Illinois}.
In my Webcenter Portal application, I create a Content Presenter Taskflow. I configure it as a single item content presenter. I assign MyContent as Content Id. Then, in templateView, I get all values of MyField in MyContent and display them as selectOneChoice. I created a javascript function that would get the value that user selected in selectOneChoice. In the View created in Webcenter Content's Configuration Manager (above), there is a value corresponding to each value displayed. So, for the selected value, I need to get the corresponding Capital and display it in my alert message.
From Javascript, how can I get the value of Capital, given I have the value of State.

Hi.
The idea to achieve your requirement is next:
Create a helper manage bean that will be call as Map access: #{stateUtil['Calofironia']} (it will return Raleigh). This value will be get calling GET_SCHEMA_VIEW_VALUES IDC service using RIDC in your manage bean.
Pass the result of #{stateUtil['statename']} to your JavaScript function using <af:clientAttribute.../>
I hope this information help you.

Set Default Value based on Field from another table for a custom object

I'm trying to set the default value on a custom object field to the value of an account field. I have tried the syntax 50 different ways, and just am getting no where. The account field label displays as DBA, the integration tag is ltDBA_ACCT, and it shows up in reporting fx area as Account.Text_22.
The custom object field I'm triying to update is also called DBA, which was originally the "NAME" required field. Does the table name, Account, have to be included? Do I need a function in front of the field?
I have been updating the external ID using the row ID with syntex <ID> (Less than ID greater than) so I know it is possible to set the Default Value, but <DBA>, <ltDBA_ACCT>, "Account"."DBA", and so on just don't not work.
If anyone knows how to enter this I'd really appreciate the help.

Ok, so if you want to default a field to the value from another object, you have to use the JoinFieldValue function. I think you understand that, based on your original post, but I want to be sure that you do.
Next, this will only work as a default if the record is created from the object that you wish to join on because a default works at record creation and the ID needs to be available for it to work properly. It will not work if you choose the related object record after the custom object record is created. You could set the value as a post-default, but that does not seem to meet your requirements.
The syntax for the Default Value would be as follows: JoinFieldValue(ref_record_type, foreign_key, field_name).
In your case, ref_record_type is '<Account>', foreign_key is [<AccountId>], and field_name is '<YourFieldName>'. The best way to determine what the field name is would be to create a new workflow for Account and use the Workflow Rule Condition expression builder to pick your field ("DBA") from the list. The value that is returned by the expression builder should be placed in the field_name variable in the JoinFieldValue function (minus the brackets and in single quotes).
Give this a shot and let me know how you do.
Thom
