Defaulting Expense Template on Responsibility Level

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to use personalization to default expense templates at the responsibility level in iExpense, but it doesn't seem to be working. I typed the expense template name in the Initial Value field of the messageChoice item for Expense Template, but this does not default to the appropriate template even after apache is bounced. The expense template defaults to the original expense template that was there and does not default to the new template that we added. I've tried this at the site and responsibility levels but neither seem to work.
Is there a way of doing this through personalization or does it require extension?
Thank you.

Hi,
Actually Defaulting on OA Framework also has a Hierarchy.
Hierarchy is:
Highest level Level 1 : Default(or initial value) values through Controller
Level 2 : Default(or initial value) values through Personalizations.
level 3 : Default(or initial value) values through initial value property at design time.
level 4 : Default(or initial value) values through View Object
Lowest level Level 5 : Default(or initial value) values through Entity Object create method.
Refer to this link : http://oracle.anilpassi.com/defaults-in-oa-framework-concepts-and-practical-approach-2.html
In your case i think the Default is done through Controller thats why it is not getting overridden through personalizations.
In this case you need to extend the controller.
Thanks,
