I support this option too. In order to prefill certain values in creation, like โcompleted?โ -> No, Department, Application date -> Now() (or Today). In forms include not_editable option, but show the default_value.
Thanks, everyone, for the feedback! As it sounds like youโve already discovered, we currently support setting default values only for single line text, number, currency, and percent fields. Weโve received requests for default values for other field types as well; thanks for letting us know that this would be useful to you! Iโm happy to pass this along to the rest of the team :grinning_face_with_big_eyes:
If youโd like to prefill fields in a form, note that we do have a workaround, but the default values you set will be editable in the form. The workaround is to use query parameters on the form field URL, prefixed with prefill_. See example below:
This would be super helpful as many people will be filling out forms for requests for our services, having a single select field default to โNeeds Follow-Upโ or โIn-Processโ would be very helpful and save time.
Hey! Just saw that text fields & number fields can have a default value set. Is this new? AWESOME!
The other workaround to the above, is to set up a NEW formula field using an IF statement. (E.g. If the field is blank, then use a default value, otherwise, use the field data.)
