Defaulting values into a grid line on entry

[johndanter]

Hello

An analyst has asked me to allow them default values into a entry grid line.
This is to speed up processing

*NB these are not to be BSVW filters, but DD items as the value in each line may vary after 5 records etc. then the user clicks ok

This should be simple right? I have been using event ADD LAST ENTRY ROW TO GRID.
This works but it skips a line and does not insert the values onto the grid line I am on but the one below it.

I want defaulted values to automatically appear into the line the user has entered

How do I do this?

Thanks

John

John,

Have you tried the ROW IS ENTERED event? You will have to check that the columns for which you want to add default values for are blank/null/zero as this event is triggered for existing rows as well. You could add a column that is not visible and set it in the ROW IS EXITED events. Then if the column is set then you don't set the defaults.

Just my AUD 0.02 worth. I hope it helps.
