Hi All, 

I’m sure some here can help me.

I’m in page designer as the user has requested that a field is set as ‘on’ by default.

When I open up page designer, go to the field and scroll to the Default Value it is wanting a Value to be entered - what value do I need to enter to make sure it is ‘on/selected’?

Thanks in advance for help received, Sarah

Hi ​@sholmes,

What is the SU you've been trying? I checked in 24R2 SU14 and there is no issue in that. 

There are some issues has been reported in 24R2 earlier SUs when it comes to setting default values using page designer, especially when it comes to assistant pages. But those are fixed in 25R2 now.

hi ​@Yathartha Karunananda - thanks for that but it’s not changing the toggle, any ideas what I might be doing wrong or is this just a bug maybe? Thanks

Hi ​@sholmes,

This worked for me in 25R2. What environment you have been using?

Hi ​@sholmes 

I am not entirely certain, but this Default Feature option works with record creation only. 

Since, here you are not creating any record, I doubt Default Feature will work.

I am having the same issue where I cannot default this toggle on with Page Designer (in 24r2).

@Yathartha Karunananda - we are currently 24R2, the update path in is progress but we always need to validate due to medical and automotive customers so it will be 6 months at least before users see the update.

As far as I know, default values are a real painpoint in IFS, you simply cannot put default values and it is neither possible in wizards.

@Yathartha Karunananda, we went live 6months ago on SU4 - have kept this to ensure stability in the first 6 months, we are going to SU14 by the end of March if testing goes well so I should be able to sort this for the user then, thanks.

Hi ​@sholmes,

Let us know how it goes with SU14 then. It would be useful for others as well.😊
