Hello,
I have created 2 new custom fields that are inserting into the database. However i have been trying to set them up with a default value so we can avoid constant retyping. Can anybody tell me how to do that? I have tried mimicking the information from other default fields in the property windows but it is not working.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I have the same question (0)It would be helpful to know what version you are on and what screen you're trying to customize.
I assume what you're trying to say is that you have added a couple of user fields onto a screen you're customizing. Now you'd like to set a default value for those fields anytime a new record is created on the screen.
To do that, you'll need to set the attribute "Default" on the property browser for the user field you've added.
You can also set the field as "Required" by setting the attribute "Blankerr".
You might also want to set the tab sequence correctly by updating the "Tab Index" so that the field sequence the user tabs through brings up the new custom user field in the right order.
Hope this helps.
