    Contour default values - not visible why?

    Hi Tim,

    I've put some default values into forms I'm creating with contour 3.06 and they don't appear in the form field when I preview the form. What is the format of the Default Value field? For a Text Field/ Combo/Dropdown box

    I've tried the following ways with no luck

    (1)  Hello World (just the text)

    (2) {Hello World}  (inside {} braces)

    (3) 'Hello World'/"Hello World" (single and double quotes}

    (4){"Hello World"} (Eg. 2 and 3 combined)

    I've even used razor notation

    Thanks 

    Paul

    P.S. Can I populate a Contour Text Field with data given from a .net usercontrol?

    Should be just the text no special syntax

    Just tested and it works... so just set the default value setting of the field...

    Oh how silly I've been I wasn't saving the form after I'd updated the field so the change wasn't made. 

    By the way is there a way of putting data from another field into another field type in contour 3.06? I'm trying to create a lookup field that fills in standard text fields with data returned from the lookup field (i.e. postcode field - with address, town and county as the standard fields)

    Thanks

    Hmmm think you'll just need some custom js for that or a custom fieldtype would also make sense

    So a postcode with lookup fieldtype where you can select the other fields to populate with the lookup results, shouldn't be that hard

    Yeah, the lookup field isn't the problem I was just wondering if there was a regular expression I could use in the default value field for standard field types that could take the lookup results but I don't think there is as I think that default value field just renders plain text

    Thanks
