How to avoid the null value in the field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 1,023

Hi,

 I created a New two options field recently and for the existing records that were created before are having a blank value instead of one of the default option.

Is there any other work around I can try to avoid this situation to not to show the blank value for the existing records?

I dont want to fix the data for the records because they are in hide number. I am looking for some different options or approaches to link the yes or no field to the entity.

Thanks

    Hi James,

    You can update this existing records with default value of this two options field.

    Two ways you can try to test.

    1.Export then import records after update.

    (1) Choose your entity(Doctors) with help of a view and Click on Export to Excel.

    However, this way you need change value manually, it is just suitable for a small amount of records.so you can use flow to change huge records.

    2.create an instant flow to update records.

    (1) create and name an instant flow.
