Hi @Keval ,

The most likely way is to change the default value on the priority field in the dictionary. Since priority is a field on task, you will more than likely need a dictionary override. Begin by right clicking on the priority field label and choose Configure Dictionary.

At the bottom of the task.priority dictionary form, you will see a related list called Dictionary overrides. Create a new record there for the Catalog Task (sc_task) table and set the default value to 4.

Mark my answer correct & Helpful, if Applicable.

Thanks,

Sandeep

Hi Sandeep,

I have set default priority as 4 but still in form it shows 5.

For existing sc_task records it will not apply. This will only apply to new sc_task records.

Hi there,

Open the Dictionary Entry for Priority (which is on Task), and add a Dictionary Override. Within the Dictionary Override, select table sc_task and set the default value to 4.
