CRUD Default Value

This documentation is about how the forms display the pre-filled fields on the CRUD forms (specially on Add).

Priority

Same as the App-level Language Translations, there is a priority defined for the default values.

The form will remain empty if there are no values from any of the options below.

1. The Query String

If passed through the URL:


https://demo.dev.phpreaction-crud-v2.phpr.link/en/invoice-types/new?previous=2&next=2

2. The User Defined KVS

It can directly be set through the footer (save value action), or it can be saved through the Default Flag modal from the Listing Actions. See the Key Value Store (KVS).

Save value action:

Form footer with the green Save values button next to the Icons & text and Title selectors

Default Flag action modal, from the listing row actions:

Set as Default Value modal with a Company (Select Corporation) and a User (Select User) dropdown, opened from the highlighted row action

3. Enterprise KVS

The process will be the same, but the difference is the user field, which can be null or set for any specific user.

4. Skeleton (the app’s predefined values)

Through the API endpoint:


GET /{moduleName}/{objectName}/skeleton/new

See the related documentation: Skeleton Endpoint. The entity’s skeleton URI is also exposed in the metadata as defaultDataSkeletonUri.

The forms these values land in are documented in Add Entity and Edit Entity.
