Hi Community experts,

I am want to set a default value in a reference group control.

I want to insert the logged in user's details here in this field

To fetch the data I am using this query (mention in screenshot) and writing this code in OnInitialized DataSource event

As soon as I click the new button the event gets triggered but nothing is getting populated in the field.

Looking forward to helpful responses on this.

Best Regards

Hi Ali,

Do you want to set the logged in user's details in this field, or do you want to set the user creating the record in this field? If you want to set the logged in user's details, every time a user opens this form, the their details will be set on this form. This way you won't be able to check who actually is the requestor of the position action.

Secondly, rather than setting the form control value, you should set the field value for the table. The field Originator in HcmActionState table has a foreign key relation with HcmWorker table. So, you need to find the HcmWorker record for the currently logged in user. Assuming that you want to set the Originator field when a new action is created, you can create a CoC on initValue method in HcmActionState table. Your code will look like this -

[ExtensionOf(tableStr(HcmActionState))] final class HcmActionState_Extension { public void initValue() { next initValue(); this.Originator = HcmWorkerLookup::currentWorker(); } }

Thanks a bunch Gunjan Bhattachayya
The code worked like charm, I was so occupied in making the form control work that I completely forgot about directly assigning value at table level.

Thanks again Brother, You're a life saver. Cheers
