I am wondering how I would go about creating a script that would show a default value in a field, but also allow the user to change that value if need be.

Thank you.

Hi USA80,

please use the following code:

function OnLoad() { var defaultvalue = "My default value"; var attrvalue = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_myattribute").getValue(); if (attrvalue == null) Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_myattribute").setValue(defaultvalue); }

Let me know if you solve.
