Default Picklist value
Posted: 06 May 08 2:24 PM

Has anybody had trouble with setting the default value on a picklist? I have a custom picklist that I created, I checked the Set Default box and selected the value I wanted as the default but when I open the screen with the picklist it is empty. If necessary I will script the default value in the field.
Thanks, |

| I have not had any trouble with this. What version of SalesLogix are you running? |

| Version 6.2.6 - I have the picklist on a Tab Control and I am using a managed form. |

| I don't have access to a 6.2.6 database at the moment. Hopefully someone else can confirm the behavior. |

| I dont like the default value as it saves the default index of the value. (i.e. if your default value is third on the list it saves 2 as the default index. (0 is the first index value)). If you then delete what used to be first in the list, the index number of your value no longer matches the saved index value. I think it is much safer to populate the default value using a script. YMMV. |
