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?

Let me first state that this is an amazing and fascinating product exactly what I was looking for. In just a few hours (listening to the very well made and clearly understandable videos learning doing) I completed and installed my first component. I am now in the second refining phase. I will make a recommenation in JED. Thanks for the effort in creating such a great product. Incidentally some of the best Joomla extension I use are of French origin !
