Default Value

Hi @rladha,

Do you want to add a default value? Or do you want todays date to be used as a filter? Or both?

Thanks,
Peter

Hi @rladha,

Sorry for my late reply!!!

Unfortunately it is not possible to add a default date to Data Projects. I can add support for default date values to Data Projects, but it will take time. My actual to do list is very long and growing almost every day. Sorry!

Alternatively, you could add a default value to your table column or add a database trigger. The disadvantage is that the value is not shown on insert.

Another alternative (but more work) is to add a default value using filter wpda_after_simple_form, which is documented here:
https://wpdataaccess.com/2020/01/29/action-hook-wpda-after-simple-form-to-add-custom-elements-to-end-of-data-entry-forms/
With this filter you can use javascript to add your default value.

What do you think?

Best regards,
Peter
