Hello,

I have table with a "subject" field, with default value specified in model.

Now I would like to generate forms to add and update records.
In the forms the default value specified in the model has to be
overriden on certain conditions.

I tried these:

form.vars.subject = "another default value"

form.custom.dspval.subject = "another default value"

form.custom.inpval.subject = "another default value"

But none of them works, still there are model default values filled in
the form fields.

Please, could you help?

Thanks in advance..

David

No you just do

db.table.field.default = "another default value"

before SQLFORM or before crud.update
