How to find default company of the logged in user

[MP]

Hi All,

frappe.defaults.get_user_default("company") always seems to return default company for the site and not the default company of the logged in user. How do I get default company of the logged in user? I am trying to set default value for a report filter based on the logged in user's default company.

{

"fieldname":"company",

"label": "Company",

"fieldtype": "Link",

"options": "Company",

"default":frappe.defaults.get_user_default("company")

},

Kind regards,
Mayur Patel

It should get the users default. Maybe it's not set / there are multiple defaults.

The fault lies with the new permissions system which replaced the user defaults. User permissions are based on doctype names and not field names. 

@rushabh Let's discuss this on Monday.

Cool - but then didn't we set the defaults based on DocTypes (?) - if not, thats an easy fix.

Hi Rushabh, Anand,

Is there further update on this?

Hi Mayur,

For now, use frappe.defaults.get_user_default("Company") with capital "C".

Thanks Anand.

Actually, use:

frappe.defaults.get_user_default("Company") || frappe.defaults.get_global_default("company")

so that global default company is used as fallback!
