Hi Varsha,

You can use configure dictionary on "language" field in "kb_knowledge" table as below

                                                     

 Then go to Default Value tab, check Use dynamic default check box and create new dynamic value in "sys_filter_option_dynamic" table.

Then select this dynamic value in default value.

Hope it will help you, Let me know if you find any issues.

Mark Correct or Helpful if it is so

Hi Chandra Prakash,

you can also share the Dynamic default form, to configure 'My Language' in case if that record is not available for everyone by default.

Hi Varsha,

You can write an onLoad Client Script for this on kb_knowledge form. Here is a sample script which you can extend based on your requirement.

Assuming my kb_knowledge field as 'u_language', as shown:

function onLoad() {
   //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
   var getUserLang = g_user.getUserID().preferred_language;
	if (getUserLang){
	g_form.setValue('u_language',getUserLang);
		return;
	}
	g_form.setValue('u_language','en'); //if user has no language, set english
}

Thanks, Akash

Hi Akash,

Actually here Language is OOB field which is referring the user's language. If you will create it manually then for every different language you need to insert a choice every time.
