In options currently there's an option by grid to 'auto assign the following fields' and you can put a comma separated list to assign those.  Can't seem to get that to work at the moment, eg I put in the 'welcome' table the following:

A:Who = "blah"

And some variations too.  When I show the 'Who' field, it is still blank when I create a new record.  Have I missed the point?

This is powerful and the use I see for it is for example having a field called 'where captured' and you could put 'meeting at such and such a time/place' which would appear on every row you capture in the meeting.  However I think the assignment box should be able to be put in the toolbar or a dockable panel so you can edit which fields are 'auto assigning' as you work.  Thoughts?

PPL wrote You can use Forms to add items with custom filled fields...

and from the Wiki

> default values for each field can be defined for each form

I havent been able to figure this out - it doesnt seem to work automatically - do you simply mean that one can (manually) fill fields via the forms pane or

can you set it up so new item automatically has XYZ ticked and filled ?

thanks!

Apologies Pierre and thanks

it's all there all right - I had skimmed through it - need to slow down a bit I do !!

EDIT/ new definition in Glossary

Does it sound okay?

• Form - A form is is a grouping of Fields that shows in the Properties Pane. You can give these fields "default" values and then create a new item with these values or apply these values to selected item(s). See Forms
