Feature Request: Default Value on Document Type Properties
Hi Guys,
I have a feature request / suggestion for document types. I would like to be able to set a default value on a document type property.
Also I would like to be able to see inherited properties in the document type that inherits. I don't want these to be editable, I just want to be able to see the properties all in one place. That way it is easier not to create clashing tab names or properties, and you know exactly what information is available.
If you then also could override a default value for inherited properties then I would be very happy indeed!
I have something in the making for your first request, which I might be able to show at the feb16 event - IF I manage to get it done in time. If not it will be uploaded to the package section.
Right now you could create your own data type, which would allow putting in a default value (you would put it in developer<data types< your new data type).
Thank you for your answers. I am going to implement this myself in a .Net control when I get around to it... if Morten doesn't beat me to it ;-) In any case I am looking forward to your presentation on the 16th.

it would work in the same way that you already go to developer < data types to load a dropdown list or a checkbox list.

looking around...i found that this has been discussed some before and that you could use an action handler to give a default value.
