Default value in a reference field

[ceraulo]

Hello!

I have a custom table containing a field that references the User table. I want this field to have a Default value. Is this possible? I tried inputting the User ID, name, sysID of the User but it does not work.

Please help!

Thanks.

you need to put the sysId of the user record you want to see as default value

[ceraulo]

Is this best practice or should I use a System Property?

You can also use a system property use it as follows 

javascript:gs.getProperty('some.default.user.sysid');

not recommended to use hard-coded sysId

1) create a system property of type string and store the sysId there

2) then in default value use this

javascript: gs.getProperty('propertyName');
