Hiya,

I have some drop down menus where data is populated from a valuelist. Is there anyway to have the select menu display one of those values (instead of “Please Select”) as the first option?

Thanks

Paul

Use the fieldname__default() method in the delegate class to specify a default value for your field:

Code: Select all

function myfield__default(){     return 'foo'; }

(Note that in the case where the field stores an int but you’re using a valuelist to display a different label, then you should return an int from this method and not the string that is associated with it).
