have the defaults submit in form

Posted on by Community Power Pla...

I'm having an issue with an app. I thought that if you submit a form that has defaults it would just submit the defaults. Is this incorrect? and if so is there any way to have the defaults set to the values then send it without having to go to each individual control as I have an app with 25 screens with 20~ controls each and that sounds like a nightmare.

Thanks n advance

Thanks for response. To answer your question: the form will submit with any values currently within the form at the time of submission. When in NewForm mode any fields having Default values will be populated with those values and be included in the submit.

There is currently no way to bulk update the the Default property of a form.

Nope that's something different.

You need to use this code to put the form in new mode. Then the default values will appear. I would typically put this in the OnVisible property of the screen or the OnSelect property of the button used to navigate to the form.

NewForm(your_form_name);

@mdevaney
Good Morning!

So, I just finished implementing that and it doesn't seem to be working as setting the dafaults. I even set up a button to do
"NewForm()" on the same page for testing and its still not working. Any ideas?

Thanks again for all the help you've given me.
