Javascript to access a field default value?

Hi,
I'm working on a 'enter' event for text fields such that if the field contents are still on their default value, it will immediate (hence the enter) clear out, but if the contents have already been changed it will let the user simply edit their changes.
For example, I'm using the caption as the To: line on a form, then the default value of the text field says "type name here". I'd like to compare the field contents to the default upon 'enter' of the field.
Got this far:
if (this.rawValue == {default}) {
this.rawValue = "";}
and it aint working. the {default} is the only thing I can find in the scripting reference that comes close. Maybe there's a way with xfa.event.reenter??
thanks.

Paul, maybe I'm misreading the docs on event.reenter, but it looked like it was a flag about whether or not the user had ever entered that field before. Which is exactly what I'm hoping to test.
I have about 100 of these fields, so am hoping to do a simple if test, with 'relative' statements. Testing against the known default value certainly would work, but I have to write the 100 custom tests, rather than copy/paste the same thing into each field...
Do you know a way to access the value stored in the Default field in the properties tab?
thanks,

Access migration - error handling field default value "=Now()"

Hi All,
I'm doing an Access - Oracle Migration.
I've exported the structure, captured the model and generated the SQL.
When I run the SQL I get:
SQL Error: ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
00907. 00000 - "missing right parenthesis"
It looks like it's related to a default value in Access of =Now()
The access table has a field "Creation Date" type Date/Time and default Value =Now()
The generated SQL looks like this:
CREATE TABLE Offer_Detail (
HotDealID NUMBER(11,0) NOT NULL,
Creation_Date DATE DEFAULT 0w(),
Which causes the error message.
If I change this to:
CREATE TABLE Offer_Detail (
HotDealID NUMBER(11,0) NOT NULL,
Creation_Date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE,
it succeeds.
I'm using SQL Developer 1.2.1.3213 with extension "Oracle Migration Workbench - MS Access" version 10.2.0.32.13
Thanks,

Enterprise Project Fields Default values do not Register on PDP Pages for mandatory fields

Is it normal for "mandatory" eneterprise project field to come up as blank in a PDP page, when I have defined it to default value to a specific value in a list?
I've inserted such fields using the project field web part within the PWA Category. They display with the red astericks at the end of their name, but the field is blank. The default value does not appear in the field. However, if I select
the button next to their name and display the the list, the default value is shown in bold as if it is the one selected. I
I am not using any workflows in the EPT that is responsible for displaying such pages. Aslo, this is not a problem when the fields are not set to mandatory; they display the default value.
the problem with this is that you have to manually select the default (or some value form the list) in order to check in the project.
Would you agree that this is a bug in 2010?

Parameter field default values not being set in BO Infoview

For a report, I have three numeric input parameter fields with a default value of -1. When the report is processed in the Crystal Reports development environment, the parameter fields are all displayed with the default values.
When copied and then processed in BO Infoview, the three parameters come up with a value of "Empty". In order for the report to process correctly, these "Empty" fields need to be individually called, a numeric value entered and then the report "Scheduled". Does anyone know of any way to force or get Infoview to use the pre-defined default values of these fields when running with Infoview?
Thanks

In the CMC, you have to config the report object's parameter.
It's under the Process tab of Object.

Need help formatting text field default value

Hello,
I've received a customer request to put default text into the Value section of a text field. They're requesting that the default text include line breaks, bullets, etc. I added a Text Field object and added the default text to the Object tab > Value tab Default field but can't figure out how to add line breaks, etc.
Thanks in advance,
Saskia

Hi,
this is possible but not doable with the UI of Designer.
The workaround is as follows:
1. Create a text, enter your default text with all the formattings you need (text color, bold text, line breaks etc.)
2. Create a text field and enter any word as default value. Let's say "Default".
3. Select the text and the switch to the XML Source view.
There you will find all the formatted text between the <value> tags such as:
<value>
     <exData contentType="text/html">
          <body xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:xfa="http://www.xfa.org/schema/xfa-data/1.0/"><p style="letter-spacing:0in">This is<span style="xfa-spacerun:yes"> </span></p><p style="color:#ff0000;letter-spacing:0in">default Text</p><p style="letter-spacing:0in"><span style="xfa-spacerun:yes"> </span>• with<span style="xfa-spacerun:yes"> </span><span style="font-weight:bold">RichText</span> formatting.</p></body>
     </exData>
</value>
4. Select the whole code between the <value> tags and copy it to the clipboard (ctrl + c).
5. Go to the Design View, select the text field, go back to the XML Source view.
6. There you'll also find the value <tags> and your default value you entered before.
<value>
     <text>Default</text>
</value>
7. Select this code section and paste the value copied before to the clipboard by pressing ctrl + v.
8. That's it. When you now go back to the Design View your text field shows a formatted RichText as defaul text.

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,
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?

Auto Populating Text Fields Default Values

I am using Acrobat X Pro. I have a multiple page form and would like the "Legal Address" field entry/value after typed to auto-populate, or be the default value, of my "Mailing Address" field further down the form. I can accomplish this if the fields are the same name, ***HOWEVER*** I just want it to pre-populate it and if the "Mailing Address" differs from "Legal Address" be able to type over that (Mailing Address) on the form entry without also changing the Legal Address. If the fields are named the same, both will always be the same / updated together.
Any help - or examples!

Hi Michael,
Thanks that was helpful and worked although I now appear to have another problem.
When I enter data into current title (eg Manager, Finance) data in proposed title field (eg Manager Finance) is auto populated as expected - correct
When I change the data that was auto populated in the proposed title field (eg Manager, FInance) to the new title (eg Director, Finance) is keeps the new tltle - correct
When I select something from another field eg cost code, the data I manually keyed into the proposed title reverts back to what was entered into the current title (eg Manager FInance)
Is there a way of committing the data that is entered automatically or manually so it remains in the field?
Regards,
Michael

Set field default value

Hallo everybody!
at the moment I need to set a few default values into WebUI input fields. For example I want to determine the Account which is linked to a certain Person and fill the acount data into an input field when a new customer visit report is created. Whenever a new report is created, this account info input field shall be prefilled with the determined data.
My question now: how can I prefill input fields with default values in WebUI?
Thanks for your help and best regards!

Report parameter default value do not default correctly

Hello Experts, I have a cascading parameters in my report.
The first parameter called "Project" will allow to select a single Project Name from the list and based on the Project Name, the second parameters which is a "Date" parameter will give out list Months and Year in the Format 'Nov-14'.
For this Second parameter I defaulted the parameter to show First Month in the retrieved list of Months. But the problem is it will display the default Date correctly only certain times (there is a refresh problem). If i select a different project and it
has a month that was retrieved in the first project it will still show the that Month but not the actual default month (Start Month) for that particular Project.
Example: If I select Brisk from Project parameter, It will give me 18 months of Dates in the Date parameter. In that 18 month range first month is Sep-13 it will default to Sep-13 correctly. Then if I select a different project like "Creek" (example)
as Project , the Date parameter retrieves some dates corresponding to Creek Project and in the retrieved months if Date parameter has Sep-13 it will still show Sep-13 even though the
Start Date for Creek project is Jun-12.
1. Project Brisk: Defaulted correctly to Sep-13
2. Creek Project : Should default to Jul-12 but still shows Sep-13
Just for default value I created a separate dataset and used it to populate the default value and the SQL I used just for default value is as below:
SELECT DISTINCT TRUNC(DATE_KY, 'MM') AS DEFUALT_DATE
FROM DATE_D D
WHERE (DATE_KY = ADD_MONTHS(:PROJECT_DT, - 6))
Date parameter datatype is Date/Time,
Available Values Tab: label field is a String but the Value field and the default field (Default Values tab) are Dates
Thanks in advance

Thanks Vicky for reply.
Yes you are right but I did not use First function as the query above retrieves only one date.
I used your suggestion but it did not fix it.
In this report I have three parameters.
1. Project Code (Visible)
SELECT DISTINCT PROJECT_CODE
FROM      DIM.PROJECT
ORDER BY PROJECT_CODE
2. Project Date (Invisible)
SELECT
MAX(CASENA.MILESTONE
WHEN'ABCD'THENTRUNC(PROJECT_DATE,'MM')ELSENULLEND)PROJECT_DATE
FROM
DIM.PROJECTNA
WHERE(NA.PROJECT_CODE
=:PROJECT_CODE
or'ALL'=:PROJECT_CODE)
3. Start Date (Visible):
Available Values Query:
SELECT DISTINCT
--DER_DATE is "Value Field"
TRUNC(D.DATE_KY, 'MM') DER_DATE
--Display_date is "Label Field"
, TO_CHAR(D.DATE_KY, 'Mon-YY')   Display_Date
FROM DATE_D D
WHERE DATE_KY BETWEEN ADD_MONTHS(:PROJECT_DATE, -6) AND ADD_MONTHS(:PROJECT_DATE, 6)
ORDER BY 1
Default Values Query:
SELECT DISTINCT TRUNC(DATE_KY, 'MM') AS DEFUALT_DATE
FROM            DATE_D D
WHERE        (DATE_KY = ADD_MONTHS(:PROJECT_DATE, - 6))
When you select a Project from "Project Code", it will give a "Project Date" and based on the "Project Date" it will give a date range in "Start Date". That is why I am using "Project Date" parameter in my
query. I even tried using Project code as you suggested but I still got the same result.
Thanks a lot for your reply.

How to default value in collection after intial collection field entered

Hi there,
Am working on gettting to know collections but not really had much to do with them so far.
I have a multi row data entry screen that works great using a collection. Now the boss has decided that the new records require a default value that the users can overwrite if required.
The value i need to default is the second field in the collection but i only want to populate the value after the first field in the collection has been entered.
Could anyone talk me through how i do this please or point me to any relevant documents.
Cheers
Lisa

Hi Lisa,
If you want to default value only after user enters data in another row column, you ll have to write a javascript code that executes after the column is entered
If you have jQuery(already included in apex 4.0) it would make the task of accessing that other column easy.
Otherwise its much more harder work to get I can think of setting the ID's using the pitem_id_* while rendering the editable fields(set it for both the columns..say as COL1_ROWNUM , COL2_ROWNUM ) using APEX_ITEM. Then add an onblur event(using the html attributes parameter of APEX_ITEM api) call a JS function with the rownumber(to identify the row). You can then write the logic for default value inside the function and set the corresponding column with the value.
If you can update about your version and/or if you use any JS libraries, it would be easier to help you any further.

Field with a default value from another field

I need to populate a field as the default value from another field that the user inputs. I've tried the scripting that I found from the below Topic in the Archived Forums, but I'm not able to make it work. I've tried numerous variations and still to no avail. I tried to make the scripting work in Acrobat 6 and then decided that maybe I needed to upgrade, so I'm now trying it in Acrobat 8 with no results. Can anyone help?

How can I have a field date2 which has the default value of field date1, but which can be edited by the user if necessary without changing the value of date1.
I've tried, but I just can't figure it out!
Any help much appreciated.

This, or some variation of this, should work:
if(this.getField("date2").value == ""{
this.getField("date2").value = this.getField("date1).value;

Thanks very much.
I put it in at document level to start, but it didn't run the script automatically when date1 was first filled in, so I have put it in as a mouse exit action in date1 and it works a treat.
Thanks for your help.
Ben

Okay forget what I posted above and lets start over. Go to your first field and under Properties -> Actions Tab -> Select Trigger -> On Blur Run A JavaScript.
Put this:
this.getField("myField2").value = event.target.value;
Make sure that you replace ("myField2") with the actual name of your second field. I just tested this and it works for Acrobat version 6.
I haven't been doing as much javascripting as I used to, so sometimes I too make some basic mistakes.

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);
</script>

Default values & javascript in a manual tabular form

Hello!
I have a tabular form that presents a new row at the top of the report...my sql statement is in the form of:
SELECT
NULL EMPNO,
NULL ENAME,
NULL MGR,
NULL SAL,
NULL COMM,
0 SORTITEM,
'N' STATUS,
'' MD5_VALUE
FROM
DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT...etcI used to have default values defined in the report attributes but lost those when I started using the approach above.
How do I reference the value of an item on the page, as a default value for the empty row? For example, if item :P60_EMPNO contains the working employee ID, I would like the EMPNO field in the empty row to be pre-populated with that value.
Also, I used to have a javascript function that ran 'onkeypress' for a field in the new row, but now I'm not sure how to implement that with the new tabular form.
Thank you!
Tammy
(currently using APEX 3.1.2)

Hi Tammy!
You can replace any of the NULL values in the SQL statement with your default values. The only condition would be that you should have at least one field that is NULL so that the process code knows that the user has not completed the record. In my example, I check:
IF vSTATUS = 'N' AND vENAME IS NOT NULL THENSo, as long as status is 'N' and the user has not completed the ENAME field, the record will not be created - if, however, I set a default for ENAME, this IF test would be satisfied and, therefore, a new record would be created every time the page was submitted.
What does the javascript do? The APEX_ITEM.TEXT() function allows for the inclusion of additional attributes for the INPUT tag that will be generated. See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/apirefs.40/e15519/apex_item.htm#CHDCDHJI
In my example, I have:
APEX_ITEM.TEXT(5, SAL, 7, 7, 'style="text-align:right;"') "Salary"Which adds the "style" attribute to the Salary INPUT item. You could do something like that to add in 'onkeypress="javascript:yourfunction(...);"'

How to insert row where DB date field has default value.

APEX 4.1, Oracle 11.2
I'm trying to insert a row using "javascript:addRow();" where the report query is an SQL Query (Updateable Report).
1) Several of the fields are display-only with defaulted values.
2) No problem with the VARCHAR2 fields.
3) And if RUN_DT is a text field, the insert works.
4) But I get errors when trying to make RUN_DT (DD-MON-YYYY) display-only and default it to P63_RUN_DT. I display P63_RUN_DT so I see it is correct.
Now, this is not a new question. See:

Various folks recommended using Default PL/SQL and SYSDATE when SYSDATE was the desired default value. That worked for some and not for others. I could not get it to work for me. The errors I receive are "•Column must have a value. (Row 1) " and "ORA-01410: invalid ROWID". I believe the ROWID error is an example of spurious error cascade caused by the RUN_DT problem. I believe it will disappear once the RUN_DT problem is solved.
I will try to replicate on apex.oracle.com
Thoughts?
Howard

Update: At least in my case, it seems the RUN_DT date column cannot be Standard Report Column. I made it "Display as Text (saves state)". Standard Report Column works for the defaulted VARCHAR2 columns. Go figure!
(more) And I could not get it to work with "Item" (P63_RUN_DT) as the Default. However, it seems to work -- so far -- using Default PL/SQL of TO_DATE(:P63_RUN_DT,'DD-MON-YYYY').
