How to populate choice field on form when form is loading (not using default value)

[Vijay7]

Hello all, 
I want to populate 'case type' field which is OOTB field with default value "none" which has 5 choices and I want to populate the field with 'Statement' (which is one of the choice) when we are try to creating the case when form is loading. I don't want to use default 
Is there any way using script Include and client script ?

Hi @Vijay7 ,

if you don't want to update the default value of the field you can create an onload client script which only runs on new records 

function onLoad() {
    if (g_form.isNewRecord()) {
        g_form.setValue('case_type'/*bakend value of the field*/, 'statements'/*bakend value of the choice*/); //replace with backend values
    }
}

Hi @Vijay7 ,

Just write a OnLoad Client script for Case type field table.

Sample script:

(function() {
    // Check if the form is being loaded for a new case (optional)
    if (g_form.isNew()) {
        // Set the 'case type' field value to 'Statement' on form load
        g_form.setValue('case_type', 'Statement');        //adiust the backend values of choice accordingly 
    }
})();

Thanks,
