Set default value for form fields from view option 09 Oct 2014 01:02 #12684

What I want to accomplish is that I have a field defined in my layout.xml file, and when creating a new record certain form values should be set from the default defined when creating a menu item to the view.

So in my edit.xml file for the volunteerapplication layout I have which allows me to select a specific event when creating a menu item to the application.
			<field name="event"
					type="modal_event"
					label="Select Event"
					required="false"
					default=""
					description="Select Event"/>


How do I set the default form field values using this information?

I jumped and started to work on a demo component... but 2 days later this demo component became the real component. I just showed today the end result to my customer and he turned to me and said... "this is more than I expected"... All of this is because Cook did cut about 70% of my work and provided me more ways to improve the usability of the component. The end result was 17 tables all related between than to generate a full dashboard for the travel agents. Thanks for Cook developers for such great tool. This component would not be possible to be done at short time with all the features in it
