define data field when loading form

Posted on by Nihu

Hi,

When I load a new edit form I would like to automatically set the data field "Category" to a particular value "Corrective". I was trying to use the function of "OnVisible" of the editform and set the logic to Gallery1.Selected.Category = "Corrective". But this doesn't seem to work.

I can visualize the field to my screen and set the logic, but I don't want this field to take up any screen space, so I would prefer to define the field when the form is loaded.

Any suggestions?

Hi @Nihu ,

You did not say whether you were displaying the field in your form and if so, what type of control you are displaying it in. If for example you simply want to set it, just have a Text control with the Default "Corrective" and it will save when the form is submitted. If not, can you please provide more details on how it is displayed.

Hi Warren,

Thanks for the reply. I am familiar in using the default function when the value is displayed. In this scenario I don't want to display the field in my form as I don't want it to occupy my screen space. I would like that this actions takes place in the background (preferably when loading the EditForm screen).
