Default Probation Period on New Employee only

Question

Hi,
In the HR Self-Service's Change in Position Page, the probation period is defaulted when the job position has been changed. I only want to have it defaulted when it's a new employee. How can I do this??
Oracle Version I'm using is 11i
Thanks for your help,
N

Hi,
Thanks everyone for their input. I am now extending the CO for this as suggested by Ajay.
I have found that in AssignmentCO, there's a function called setPositionDefaultValues function that defaults the probation period etc. However, when I extended this controller, it's still defaulting the probation period fields. Can somebody check what's wrong with my controller? I have a feeling that my super.processRequest is messing up my new setPositionDefaultValues function that has the probation period part commented.
