Field help (GDEDEF)

Each field, editable or not, can benefit from a default value. The default value can be indicated:

• in the form of an Adonix expression, for instance, to indicate the due date, "date$" makes it possible to assign the day's actual date as the default value for the due date.
• in the form of a constant wetween brackets, for instance, "EUR" is used to assign the EUR character string as the default value for the currency field.

If the default value is not entered, the program will assign a default value based on the context.

Some instances of default values: DES field
