Do defaults work on Formlist?

Question

We’re developing a screen that makes use of a formlist, however we’re struggling a bit with getting a default to work. Is it a known limitation of the formlist that these do not work or are we simply doing something wrong?

When looking in the Dev tools at the Network calls I do not see a default being called. The default is really straightforward and should always fill in a value, its something like this

select @date_column = getutcdate()

Would love some help 😁

Hi @Erwin Ekkel,thanks for the confirmation that a default is currently not supported in the formlist.For anyone stumbling upon this question in the future. We’ve managed to get a DYI default working by combining a handler and change detection.Since a formlist directly saves it changes, you can write a handler that mutates the data (like you’d would have written a default). You then only need to add change detection to this table to retrieve this modified data.

Defaults in the formlist have not yet been implemented. If you feel this feature needs a higher priority then feel free to create an idea in the ideas section.
