Changing the default "--" in an empty text or option set field?

Posted on by coldiron

Does anyone have any suggestions or solutions for changing the default values in text fields or options sets that have not been edited? Our users do not like the default "--". I thought this could be achieved with business rules, however, I would have to implement across the entire system which seems like it would be a performance hit or hard to maintain. Any other suggestions or solutions?

RE: Changing the default "--" in an empty text or option set field?

Hi,

I would not do it with business rules etc - if you change the value, you will, actually, put some value into those fields. Whereas "--" means that the field is empty ("--" is not a value.. it's just a visual indicator that there is no value in the field)

That said, I don't think you can configure what's displayed for the empty fields.
