Default value for Read-Only Picklist Field

Hi, all--
I would like to have a default value ("Undetermined") for the "Associated Account" read-only picklist value. I have an account record of this value for this purpose. This is because if there is no value in the field, the record will not be included in a report that includes the field. I do not want to make the field required at this point.
Field management doesn't appear to allow any default value for read-only picklists. Does anyone know how to get around this, either at the lead record stage or at the lead report stage (without resorting to an analytic, which won't work for what we are doing)?
Thanks.

That's a great question. It doesn't appear as though you can select it from the typical method of Admin | Application Customization | Lead | Lead Field Setup | Associated Account.
Have you tried creating a workflow to populate the field using Before Modified Record Saved?

Can you set default values for person/group picker fields? To current user?

Two-part question/issue . . .
Part 1:
In InfoPath 2013 in use with SharePoint 2013, how do you set a Default Value for Person/Group Picker fields? Other field types like Text Boxes have a Default Value section in the Data tab of Properties. There doesn't appear to be any equivalent for
the Person/Group Picker field type in Properties. I'd like to set a default person for a few fields in a form I've created. Is this possible?
Part 2:
The default user I want to set for one of those Person/Group fields is the "current user." I want a user to log into our SharePoint 2013 intranet, load a new form for edit/creation, and have one of the Person/Group fields in that form to
automatically populate this particular user. Is this possible?

Hi Stephen,
You can auto populate your InfoPath farm with current user Name and all other property that you have in your User profile, you have couple of options.
First you can make a secondary connection in your InfoPath form with user profile and can use the UserProfileService.asmx and call the GetUserProfileByName method. Here is the steps you can follow.
http://blogs.technet.com/b/anneste/archive/2011/11/02/how-to-create-an-infopath-form-to-auto-populate-data-in-sharepoint-2010.aspx
Secondly you can use JQuery and SPServices ,
$().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser function to populate the values with script to achieve the same in this case you no need to use InfoPath form just create simple text type column in SharePoint
list and auto populate it with getting the current user Name from User Profile here is the scripts
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../jQuery%20Libraries/jquery-1.4.2.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="../../jQuery%20Libraries/jquery.SPServices-0.5.4.min.js"></script>
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
var userCurrentName = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: "CurrentUser"
$("input[Title='CurrentUser']").val(userCurrentName);
var userPhone = $().SPServices.SPGetCurrentUser({
fieldName: "WorkPhone"
$("input[Title='Phone']").val(userPhone);

Defaulting Values and Read-Only Items?

Hi All,
Brand new to APEX and trying to think of ways to get a few things working for me hoping you might have some suggestions.
1. Want to have a few items default upon the creation of a record.
- Created Date - have a column/page item that I would like to default/auto populate with the current date
- Create by - would like to have column/page item default with the login id of the user
2. Dynamically make page/items read-only.
- Once a record is created I would like to ensure that the only person able to edit the record would be the creator. I assume I can use the Read Only feature at the item level but am unsure of the syntax to use to make the item read-only for only the user who created/or is creating the record. Since I would like to be defaulting the "Create by" (see question 1) column to the login id of the user this should be plausible just not sure of the syntax to reference the current user id.
3. Passing a value to to bind variable.
- I have build a basic page with an Interactive Report and have made one of the columns in the Interactive report 'linkable' which launches a BI Publisher report by calling a Report Query. Currently in my report query I have hard coded a value in the SQL statements where clause to prove the theory works what I am struggling with is a declarative way to pass the value that I am clicking to a bind variable in my SQL statements where clause in the query.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and appreciate your patience with an APEX newbie .. about 2 days old at this juncture. The more specific you can be on what to do and where to go is greatly appreciated.
For those interested in have greater control with your report layout BI Publisher looks to be a great options. I was able to getting by reviewing [how to document:|http://www.oracle.com/technology/products/database/application_express/howtos/howto_master_detail_pdf.html] on OTN. My challenge some in the fact that rather then simply being on the exact row that I want reported on I would like to simply click on a link in a list and pass that value as the bind variable.

Hi -
"1. Want to have a few items default upon the creation of a record."
This is typically done in a trigger at the db level.
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER mytrigger
BEFORE INSERT OR UPDATE
ON mytable
REFERENCING NEW AS new OLD AS old
FOR EACH ROW
BEGIN
if (:new.CREATED_DATE is null)
    then
      :new.CREATED_DATE := sysdate;
    end if;
if (:new.CREATED_USER is null)
    then
      :new.CREATED_USER := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
    end if;
:new.UPDATED_DATE := sysdate;
:new.UPDATED_USER := nvl(v('APP_USER'),user);
END CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER mytrigger;"2. Dynamically make page/items read-only."
See 'APP_USER' in the Apex docs...
"3. Passing a value to to bind variable."
This is done in the report configuration in the Apex UI...
Session State Include application and session information.
You might want to consider reviewing some of the Apex docs and tutorials, I recommend this:

Default values for a field in itab

Hello everyone!
In the declaration below,
DATA: BEGIN OF itab OCCURS 0,
         belnr   LIKE bkpf-belnr,
         myField,
      END OF itab.
The belnr field will be filled by using SELECT statement but myField will have a default value, for example, "1,000".
Is it possible to do without looping around the itab?
Thanks!

Modify default value for static parameter field programmatically

Hi,
I have my Crystal Reports stored in a BO Enterprise system. I have written a java programm that scans the repository, loads the CR reports one by one into a ReportClientDocument, modifies the data source and then stores the updated report back to repository (it overwrites the existing objects).
I was even able to modify the default values for the parameters, which are used for scheduling of each report.
But what I am trying to do know is to overwrite the default value used when invoking the report interactively. This should be the value found under the Default Value field, when the Properties window of the parameter is opened in the CR designer.
This is what I have tried so far:
Option 1: First I tried to set the default values using com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.application.ReportClientDocument.getDataDefinition().getParameterFieldController().getField(...).getDefaultValues() . The only thing I have managed to do using this approach is to modify the static LOVs that are associated to static parameters. The actual selected value (shown under Default Value in the Properties window for the given parameter field) remained unchanged, when invoking the report in the InfoView or opening it in the CR designer.
Option 2: I have used com.crystaldecisions.sdk.plugin.desktop.report.IReport.getReportParameters().get(ik).getDefaultValues() to change the default values. I was able to see my changes in the BO repository (using a query on CI_INFOOBJECTS), still the changes did not really have an impact to what is displayed as default value when invoking the report in the InfoView.
Any help will be appreciated.
It would be great to know if someone of you has already implemented successfully such a use-case.
Regards,
Stratos

Select MULTIPLE default values for a multiple selection list box based on another field in Infopath 2010

Hello there - Before I explain my issue, I would like to point out that I have reviewed some other discussions on selecting default values for multiple selection listbox. But my issue is specific and different, and not answered by any of the discussions
I visited.
I have a multiple selection list box (say for example all countries in the world as values), and I would like to pre-select or setup multiple default values (say five countries) based on some criteria that I query from MS SQL database table.
I know we can go to Data | Default Values option to setup one or many default values for multiple selection list box. When I enter the default values manually this works. I also right click the field under the Multiple-Selection List Box group, then select
Add another Value Below and set the Default Value for this field to setup multiple default values.
However, if I reference a field (either an infopath field or a field from SQL database) I am not able to setup multiple default values. Infopath automatically selects the last field I selected for all instances and in the end I am able to see only one
default value selected instead of many. How to fix this problem? Why would infopath allow multiple default values when we enter it manually but not when we reference some fields?
Please let me know if you need more info. Appreciate your help.
Thanks!

Hi redhotc,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to set multiple default values for a multiple checkbox list in InfoPath form.
I did a test with SQL database table. I set three default values for the checkbox list by adding three values field under the group field(Data->Default values), each value field is for a default value. Then publish it to my SharePoint site, everything
was fine.Please have a try as the below link:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2010/pre-select-items-multiple-selection-list-box-infopath-2010.htm
Note: if you are using SQL databse table, you may need to enable ‘Allow cross-domain data access for user form templates that use connection settings in a data connection file’ in CA. More information, please refer to:

SRM 4.0- How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC

The radio button Service should not be visible.
Also for search help (e.g. search for internal products) where a search should only be possible for product type 01 (goods). The system should not display the product type and internally always search for goods only.
How to set the default values for product type (01) only for SC
We needs to use Search help BBPH_PRODUCT which having parameter PRODUCT_TYPE
Here we can set defalut value 01 but it is not correct one since same search help is using several places.
We need to limit the search help results only for SC.
Kindly help out me ASAP.

The easiest way to set defautl values is to edit the batch class.
Goto the characteiristic and go to update values.
In here you probably have something like 0 - 100 as a spec range.
On the next line enter the default value within this range. At the end of the line, click in the box in the column labelled "D". This indicates the defautl value for the characteristic.
If you need to you can do this in the material classification view as well.
Just to be clear, these values will only show up in the batch record. You can not have defautl values in resutls recording screens.

I dont think this will handle in check badi or change badi. i tried this part in onbuttonpressed overwriteexit in CNR_VIEW views,i can get the function EDIT in debugging mode,but dont know how to proceed further.....
Many of them suggested to go with get attribute and set attribute for changing any particular field in web dynpro,but im not very familiar in using those get and set attributes.I request you people can give me sample code on how to identify my target field in the node and set the values while pressing EDIT Button.
Thanks in advance...

But i searched in enhancement spot of WD_BADI, but couldnt get the exact way to change the coding,

Kinly guide me how to get the particular node of field in the Purchase order screen.
Thanks you in advance,

Setting default field values for multi-line text fields in lists?

For the multiple lines of text field in a list, I'm using SharePoint Designer 2013 to set a default
value for the field, but I need that default value to include rich text formatting (the default value includes a formatted table). Is this possible without having to delve into JavaScript? And if so, how?

Yes, we can :)
You can do it with powershell
$web = get-spweb <yourweb>
$list = $web.lists["<yourList>"]
$field = $list.fields["<yourField>"]
$field.DefaultValue = "place your html code here"
$field.update()
hope that helps

Set default value for parameter fields

Good day!
Situation:
1. I have 2 parameter fields in reports (dateFrom and dateTo)
2. Before running report in ASP.NET I change value this fields (dateTo = today, dateFrom = today - 3 days)
3.I use for this source:
foreach (ParameterField crParam in CrystalReportSource1.ReportDocument.ParameterFields)
                        CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter crParametr = new CrystalDecisions.Web.Parameter();
                        string ParametrName = crParam.Name;
                        crParametr.Name = ParametrName;
                          crParametr.DefaultValue = ActionReportParameter.GetParametrValue(ReportName, ParametrName);
                         CrystalReportSource1.Report.Parameters.Add(crParametr);
4. And repurt run without request value parameter fields.
5. BUT!!! now I need request value parameter fields before report start running - I want set default values for filelds and offer user change its before report start run.
How do this?
Thanks

I believe you need to create your own parameter promt screen. Capture what the user entered and pass that to the report(?).
