Default List Values
Hello,
I'm stuck on something that seems like it should be easy. I'm have a lot of data entry to do and I wanted to set the accession field (object_status_id) to default to 'accessioned'. In the Object lot status values (object_lot_statuses) list, I selected 'accessioned' and set the default flag to yes. The value shows as the default in the list of items. However, when I load the date entry interface, it doesn't default to 'accessioned'. Instead it shows as '- NONE -T'.
This is happening with the acquisition method date element and also a custom data element using a custom list. However, it works fine for other data elements that use a valie list including Status. I just can't figure out what's different between these two element.
Thanks so much for all your help. You guys have been great about responding to questions.

Hi,
I am creating new records. There is no value in the list called "none", so I cannot set the default value to "no". In custom elements, we have the ability to set a 'No value text" when the value is not required. I believe this is where "none" is coming from. However, status element is an intrinsic element and I do not have the ability to change this.
Thanks.
This problem (default list value doesn't show up in the object editor) seems to persist. I just had the same problem with source_id (= object_sources list). Any possibility to make the "NONE" value disappear and the default value show up?
