How to remove default value when field is empty.

[Le Son]

Hi everyone,

I have create default value for a field.

When create new record default value is setting for this field. However, When remove value of field (field = empty) and save record, Record still save is default value.

I want when user create new record and remove default value, record will save this field is empty

Hi @Le Son that's the first solution i shared, before insert BR,

script:

if(!gs.newRecord())

    {

        current.contact_type ='';// replace contact type to your fieldname

    }

the BR will clear the value after you hit save button, It works fine in my PDI

1.

2. Save the record. Channel field cleared out

Hi @Le Son 

That's the expected behavior of the Default Value feature.

Specify a default field value

The default value populates the field on the blank form for a new record, and also subsequently when the new record is submitted if the field is empty. Default values can be specified as either a constant or generated through script.

In your case, you can achieve this by implementing a Display Business Rule with the following condition below. And then set the field value accordingly.

current.isNewRecord();

Hi Timi,

I still can't save empty values.

I create a new record, before saving I delete the value, then I save the record.

After I save the saved record value is the non-empty default value
