TRANSCRIPT:
Hi, in this video I’m going to show you how to set a Default Value. This will input a value into a field when loading a new Edit Form. In my example I’ll be adding it alongside a Manual Number and a Calc. Firstly I’ll add the variable in the Javascript section of Custom Code. As you can see when I load a new Edit Form it sets the field straight away. I can also change this field, but note that when I save it, it returns to the default value. So to fix this I’m going to add a custom nuBuilder function called nuIsNewRecord to the previous code. Now when I go to a new Edit Form it will keep any changes I make on the default value, and when I make a new record it will reset the Default Value from the code.
