  • How to hide default value of a field on a form widget

    I've got a sysdummy1 data source that I'm using for a form widget (SQL shown below) The fields need to be empty when the app is first loaded, and then they will get populated once the user selects a package. Right now, when the app loads, the fields have the default values as set in the SQL ('xxxxxx', 1234, etc) I thought turning off auto load would make those values not appear, but i can't seem to get them to go away. Is auto load messed up? or is there a different way to get empty defaults?

    If the widget's data/auto load is unchecked, then it will not load. However, if you're showing the widget in behaviors via "Hide/Show Widgets," do you have that set to "Load Data"?

    If so, you would want it set to Reset/Clear Fields. If not, how are you showing the form widget?

      Oh, that was totally it. I was showing the widget with the load data. I should have realized something was wrong when it was empty in the widget set up but populated in the app.

      Thank you!
