We've enhanced our Forms experience to simplify setting up default values for your fields. With this update, you can now choose to set default values for specific fields. This ensures that you always have the flexibility to enable or disable the default value functionality without losing any previously configured settings.
Key Highlights
- Broad Field Support: Default values can be configured for Text, Text Area, numeric, and select fields, as well as special fields such as Assigned To, Date, and Due Date (for internal forms).
- Transparent UI Behavior: When the flag is activated, a dedicated field picker component appears, offering you a choice between field values and system values (details about the current user and environment) ensuring that you can easily pick from any available options, including predefined user and date/time values.
- Override field-level defaults: Specifying a form-level default value will override the field's own default value, allowing you to tune the user experience for specific workflows.
How It Works
- Upon activation, users will see the field picker component, making it simple to select default values based on the specific field type.
- Even if the flag is later disabled, any default values that have been set remain intact and can be restored simply by re-enabling the feature.
- The entire update is built to seamlessly integrate into your form creation process, with clear guidance provided via our design and requirements documentation.
This update is designed to give you greater control over your Forms experience, making it easier and more intuitive to manage default data inputs. Enjoy a more streamlined and customizable form setup with SmartSuite!
