state choices shows 1

[Konduru]

We created a custom table that is extended from Task and we have state on our form. We have created 4 choices for this table's state field- 'New, In Progress, Closed and Cancelled'. In the form, we are seeing an additional state as '1'. Which I cannot see in the choices table for state element.

How can remove this for the list of choices?

The Default Value for the state field on task is hard-coded as "1", so that is being set when you create a new record and otherwise do not set a state value.

Open a record on your table, right-click on the state field and select configure dictionary.

You may need to click Advanced View. 

From the Dictionary Overrides related list select new. 

Select your specific, extended table. 

Check the box for "Override Default Value" and leave the default value blank. 

Submit. 

Try a new record on your table (not an old one!) and see if the issue is no longer present. 

I hope this helps!
