I mean Workflow/BPA, Custom Events.

For example to dynamically set default value to the field or column in Assistant (just an example).

You should be able to use a BPA Workflow to populate default values using a process enrichment workflow type

I mean configuration, not customization. For example, set a default value in a field using workflow/BPA.

@Tomasz Grzebula what version are you running?

If you’re on 24R2 or are planning to take 25R1, you can make use of a new capability called Conditional Default Values which lets you set default values on fields in an Assistant. See more here: https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r2/040_tailoring/225_configuration/200_client_configurations/330_conditional_default_values/

You can also do most other configuration changes in Assistants that Page Designer supports too - for example make fields Conditionally Visible/Editable/Required etc., as long as you’re not trying to add Custom Fields to an Assistant since that is not supported (see https://docs.ifs.com/techdocs/24r2/040_tailoring/225_configuration/950_configuration_references/060_knownlimitations/#custom_attributes_on_assistants).

Best regards,

Rukmal

@Rukmal Fernando Thank you very much for your answer.
I'm on 24r2.
Is it possible to use Workflow/BPA for Default Value Evaluation?

@kamnlk Thank you.
I was not aware it is possible for Virtual Entity Set used in Assistant.
Thanks!
