Default value of form

How can I use a query or custom function to retrieve a forgein key field to be the default value of a field. Also, the types are different. Here is my example:
table: addresses
address varchar2(100);
city varchar2(30);
state number(10);
table: states
id number(10);
description varchar2(50);
I want to create a form on table ADDRESSES and have the state not a list of values, but a read only field that displays the contents of the description field of STATES. How can I do this? I have tried to work with default value but don't know how to reference the STATE value in a query in the default value textbox and when I get any value (select 'OK' from dual), it complains that it cannot convert 'OK' to a number.
Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

Please give some Information as how are you planning to get the description for the field as when you will open the form based on address table ,which description (I mean for which state) you wish to get,as there will be no way to find the address in a fresh form.

I tried it throws a error,bad bind variable error >
This will throw an error because the COPY built-in takes 2 Varchar2 parameters (Source and Destination). When you use the COPY built-in, you pass references to the objects not the objects themselves. Therefore, the reference to the global variable :GLOBAL.EXP_PRO would have to be passed as a string to COPY.
Looking at your original post, you have a COLAN in the destination string. Try the following:
COPY('GLOBAL.EXP_PRO',':IT_QF.PROJECT_NUMBER');
/* Change this statement to: */
COPY('GLOBAL.EXP_PRO','IT_QF.PROJECT_NUMBER');Craig...

yes Srini
as we dont have any option via personalization to set the default values ,it can be done through controller extension ,
in processRequest method of extended controllere get the control for that particular field where u want to set the default value and set the value using fieldbean.setValue(pagecontext,value);
in case of any particular case ,please post in the forum
thanx

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.

Created by and creation date default values on form

Hi Friends,
I am a form newbie. I am creating a simple form.
I have non-display column/fields:
a.) CREATED_BY - how do I put the default value of the user login ID upon inserting record?
b.) CREATION_DATE - how do I put the SYSDATE upon inserting the record?
c.) UPDATED_BY - how do I put the default value of the user login ID when updating the record?
d.) UPDATE_DATE - how do I put the SYSDATE when updating the record?
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi,
In the PRE-INSERT trigger, write,
     :CREATED_BY    := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME);
     :CREATION_DATE := DATE;And in the PRE-UPDATE trigger, write,
     :UPDATED_BY := GET_APPLICATION_PROPERTY(USERNAME);
     :UPDATE_DATE := DATE;Then your issue will be solved.
Regards,
Manu.

Forms: sql with bind variable as default value to form field?

I am using a form as a way to show details of already entered rows in a table. A report passes an id parameter to the form to get it to show the right data. No insert or update is possible. (I am using a form rather than a report because I need to display BLOBs, something reports can't do.)
I need to execute sql statements based on the passed id to fill certain fields in the form with data from other tables. For example: The table the form is based on includes a category_id, whereas I want to display the category name which resides in another table.
How would I best achieve this?

Hi,
You do this in the additional plsql code section of the form by getting the value of the category_id from the session variables and then getting its name from the cateogory table and assigning it to the category name column.
Sample Code
declare
catid number;
catnm varchar2(30);
blk varchar2(10) := 'DEFAULT';
begin
catid := p_session.get_value_as_varchar2(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_CATEGORY_ID');
select category_name
into catnm
from cat_table
where category_id = cat_id;
p_session.set_value(
p_block_name => blk,
p_attribute_name => 'A_CATEGORY_NAME',
p_value => catnm
end;
Thanks,

How to use Default value in a column in Tabular form in insertion or upda

How can I use a default value in a Column in a Tabular Form?

Edited by: user1046395 on Apr 3, 2009 9:58 AM

Gouri,
You can just simply edit to each column's report attribute. For example,
To set default date,
Default Type: PL/SQL Expression of Function
Default: sysdate
To set default text,
Default Type: PL/SQL Expression of Function
Default: *'CLERK'*
If you still have an error, what is the error message?

How to set a default value in a form, for a current record.

Hello,
I have created a form to store the details of an employee, details include employee id, name and lan id. I am wondering if it's possible to set the default value for an e-mail address. The e-mail address would be in the format '[email protected]'. So If I press 'create', I am directed to a form.
In the forename field, if i type 'stewart'
In the surname field, if I type 'Young'
Then in the e-mail field, I should see '[email protected]'
Furthermore, if I change 'stewart' to 'stuart', while still in the form, the e-mail address field is automatically updated to '[email protected]'
Would anyone be able to help with this problem?

Hi,
to do this you need kind of interactivity in your form.
You can achieve this either by:
1) using JavaScript onchange-events on forename and surname items, or
2) use the AJAX Computations option of ApexLib, see: http://www.oracle-and-apex.com/ajax-computations-rich-client-feeling/

How to give a default value in an inputText on a Form (Jdev 11G Preview2)

First Test :
In the .jspx I have a Form with an inputText :
-id = inputText1
-value=#{bindings.ppartId.inputValue}
In the page Def (in the <methodAction ..for the submit button) I modified the NDValue in order to have
<NamedData NDName="ppartId" NDType="java.lang.Integer"
NDValue="${ParticipantInfo.participantId}"/>
--> After clicking on the submit button I got a null value for the ppartId (in my model method) [In my ManagedBean ParticipantInfo, participantId is OK]
Second Test
In the .jspx I have a Form with an inputText :
-id = inputText1
-value=#{bindings.ppartId.inputValue}
I replace the value
-id = inputText1
-value=#{ParticipantInfo.participantId}
--> I saw the correct value when running the form but After clicking on the submit button I got a null value for the ppartId (in my model method)
So my problem is : I just want to give a default value on an inputText on a form with a Managedbean. How to do that ?
Could I modify the code of the action ofthe submit button to do that but how ?
public String saisierapide_action() {
BindingContainer bindings = getBindings();
OperationBinding operationBinding = bindings.getOperationBinding("SaisieRapide");
Object result = operationBinding.execute();
if (!operationBinding.getErrors().isEmpty()) {
return null;
return null;
}

Hi,
if your attribute binding is bound to a variable, then you can achieve this by setting the DefaultValue attribute for the variable to the desired value. E.g.
<variable Name="ppartIdVariable" Type="java.lang.String"
DefaultValue="${ParticipantInfo.participantId}"/>
<attributeValues id="ppartId" IterBinding="variables">
<AttrNames>
<Item Value="ppartIdVariable"/>
</AttrNames>
</attributeValues>HTH,
Patrik

Using select list as default value in tabular form.

Hi,
I am using Application Express 4.1.0.00.32. I have two questions that are related.
I have a Select item *'P1_SELECT'* and a tabular form My Items.
Question 1. The My Items tabular form col1 Attributes are set Display As Text Field, and the Tabular Form Attributes are set Default Type = item(application or page item name), Default = P1_SELECT. I have checked the session state value is set on P1_SELECT ie. Fred. What I need to know is, why, when adding a row to the tabular form My Items does col1 not display 'Fred' as the default value from the select item P1_SELECT? I can change col1 of the Tabular form to be Display as Text (save state) and this will work. However that leads me on to:
Question 2. After adding say 3 rows to the form, I then change the select P1_SELECT value to Bob and Bob is now set in session state on the P1_SELECT item, but when I again add row to the form the value Fred is still the value not Bob. It seems that the tabular form keeps the default value as Fred and not Bob. How can I get this to look or work like:
col1_
Fred
Fred
Fred
Bob
Your help is needed.
Thanks.

Howard (DBA in Training) wrote:
Do you submit the page or set the value after changing the selection? If not, the display value seems to be Bob but the working value is still Fred. That's what you are seeing right? In the "Settings" section, what do you have for "Page Action when Value Changed". I've been using "Redirect and Set Value" because I was staying on the same page after the selection.
Additional info which might be helpful (or NOT). ====================
NOTE: I am just a novice's novice with APEX and I had much agony with Select Lists. It was challenging to have the Select List value displayed because there seem to be so many different sources of the Select List value, namely:
1) the current value in the session state
2) the value you can specify in "Source value or expression" in the "Source" section of the Select List item
3) the value you can specify in the "Post Calculation Compution" in the "Source" section of the Select List item
4) the value you can specify in the "Default value" of the "Default" section of the Select List item
[Now, if I've misdescribed any of these, remember, this is from a novice's perspective.]
It's like putting a clock (back) together. Get any of the pieces wrong and it will probably not work right.
I had an addiitonal challenge in that I wanted the same Select List displayed on multiple pages and for the currently selected value (from the former page) to already be set on the new page when it was displayed. What fun!
To see what I did here: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43250:101 login Dever/Ima9Dever
Remember, I'm doing many things you will likely not need to do. I iniitalized the Select List for the first time it displayed. I copied the Select List value from old page to new page by storing it in an application item F217_SYS_NIC_NM.
Best wishes,
HowardHi Howard,
You don't have submit the page for just setting one item's session state. you can use a Dynamic Action OR use Page Items to Submit property if available (this is available in various places such as sql region,chart region etc)
In context to this question you don't have to do any of those..just see my example above
Thanks
