I am trying to add default text to a single line text field. It seems simple but it doesnt work for me. Is there a trick to adding default text?
Default text on single line text field
+11Default text will only appear in new records. When you add a new record is it NOT showing up in the field?

I am creating a record using the API. So when I tried manually it does work but not when I create a record electronically.

Hi @Jonathan_Coultas - yes, when you use the API the default value on the text field is ignored. If you don’t have a specific value to send in the create record request via the API, then you will need to send your default value instead.
