  • Default/Prefill field on new entity creation with formula

    Hi,

    I created a new event entity and i wish to use the following formula to prefill the name field and the date fields : name = datetime\closest(datetime\now(), 'dayOfWeek', 6) - this would return the closest weekend date - which is the default value i want to have --> using formula/workflow doesn't work as its only run it after the record was created or updated..
    Is there a way to prefill these values easily ?

    Hello,
    please try the formula below:
    Code:
    ifThen(
        entity\isNew(),
        name = datetime\closest(datetime\today(), 'dayOfWeek', 6)
    )
    This formula will work upon creating new record only.
    I suggest you go to Administration -> Entity Manager -> your-entity -> fields -> name -> uncheck the 'required' parameter. It will allow you to leave the name field empty while saving a record.
