Set the value of a field by default ?

Posted on by AR-16051714-0

Hi everyone, I'm in a transfer order trying to set a default value on a field. The problem that arises is that when starting the form, it starts with the value correctly but it is not inserted in the field but instead appears as in editing mode, so it is not as if the value had not yet been inserted and validated.

Any ideas on how to correctly process this situation? What would I be missing? I appreciate your contributions.
I do it from the form control, then from an eventHandler, but in both cases I have the same result.

[FormDataSourceEventHandler(formDataSourceStr(StrategicTransferOrders, InventTransferTable), FormDataSourceEventType::InitValue)]
public static void InventTransferTable_OnInitValue(FormDataSource sender, FormDataSourceEventArgs e)
{

InventTransferTable inventTransferTable = sender.cursor() as InventTransferTable;
FormRun form = sender.formRun();

RecId employmentRecId;
HcmWorkerRecId workerRecId = HcmWorkerLookup::currentWorker();
employmentRecId = HcmEmployment::findByWorkerLegalEntity(workerRecId,CompanyInfo::current()).RecId;

if (!inventTransferTable.InventLocationIdFrom)
{
inventTransferTable.InventLocationIdFrom = HcmEmploymentDetail::findByEmployment(employmentRecId).InventLocationIdOrigin;
}
}

Hi Layan, I just updated the post. I am using the onInit eventHandler to set the value, the value is placed correctly, but it is not embedded and validated, it is only superficially as if it were still being edited, it is not recorded in the field.

Yes, in that case yes, that is the problem, it is only stored if I click on the value again, then it does take it and store it, but the idea is that I would like this not to be the case, that the user does not have you have to click on the value but it is already stored at the time the form is started

Hi,

Sorry I'm not sure what do you mean by it's saved when you click on it again.

Init value gets called once u click create new record, it default some fields as a start and the whole record is not created until you click save. So i'm not sure what is ur issue exactly as this is how it works

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/dynamics.ax.application.formdatasource.initvalue

Maybe share a screenshot?

If you would like the value to be filled once u open the form and not when the record is created, then u can use init method instead

Calling refresh() method of the form data source (sender.refresh() in this case) will likely solve your problem.
