Changing Fields Default Values. Auto populating with what we want.

Hi Everyone,

This will be the last post for tonight :)

Ok, when we need to change default behavior for a control (a field), for instance in AR Invoice and Memo screen I would like a Subaccount and a Task to get defaulted from a Project, entered in the header area. Illustrated below:


To achieve it, I will use FieldDefaulting event for Subaccount and Project Task fields in the grid area.
So what I did is added an event for both fields, it had created me a code then I added necessary lines to it.

For the Subaccount:

protected override void ARTran_SubID_FieldDefaulting(PXCache sender, PXFieldDefaultingEventArgs e)
{
  base.ARTran_SubID_FieldDefaulting(sender, e);
  var row = (ARTran)e.Row;
  var SubID = row.SubID;
  
  PMProject pm = PXSelect<PMProject,
             Where<PMProject.baseType, Equal<PMProject.ProjectBaseType>, And<PMProject.nonProject, Equal<False>, And<PMProject.contractID, Equal<Current<ARInvoice.projectID>>, And<PMProject.isTemplate, NotEqual<True>>>>>>.SelectSingleBound(this, new object [] { e.Row });
  
  if (pm != null)
    {
      //row.SubID = pm.DefaultSubID;  
      e.NewValue = pm.DefaultSubID;
    }
}


For the Task:

protected void ARTran_TaskID_FieldDefaulting(PXCache sender, PXFieldDefaultingEventArgs e)
{
  
  var row = (ARTran)e.Row;
  var TaskID = row.TaskID;
  string DefTask = "00";

  PMProject pm = PXSelect<PMProject,
             Where<PMProject.baseType, Equal<PMProject.ProjectBaseType>, And<PMProject.nonProject, Equal<False>, And<PMProject.contractID, Equal<Current<ARInvoice.projectID>>, And<PMProject.isTemplate, NotEqual<True>>>>>>.SelectSingleBound(this, new object [] { e.Row });
  
  if (pm != null)
    { 
      e.NewValue = DefTask;
    }

}

Please take note, I am updating task with 00 value, which is default task in my case.
e.NewValue structure is the correct way of settling new Default value for the control.

As a result:


It is defaulted to what I want on a New Line click :)

All the best,

Sergey.
