Hi,
How would I set a default value for a data entry without it being on the font end add listing page?
I want to set the 'condition' data entry to default to 'used' but not allow the customer to change it.
It defaults to used correctly when the data entry field is visible but won't set if it's not on the page. Plus, if I have the 'condition' data entry visible, the 'location' data entry is not selectable.
Anybody have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jason
Hello,
you should set default value in your data entry: Common > Data Entries > your entry > Build > check 'Default' in front of your value
or if it's listing field values select 'Default' in Field options
Hi Rudi, the default value is checked in the Build section of the Data Entry. It works fine as long as the corresponding field is visible on the add-listing page. However, when add-listing visibility is unchecked, the default value is not set for the listing. My workaround was to leave the Add to Listing Page option checked and putting the field into a group titled Hidden Fields which is hidden on the front-end via CSS.
The other issue where if multiple Multifield Filter Data Entries and their corresponding dropdowns are on the Add Listing page, as soon as the Multifield nearest the top is selected, any remaining Multified dropdown is disabled. I temporarily bypassed this by editing the Multifield plugin to use checkboxes and only using one Multifield dropdown on the add-listing page, the others are now checkboxes and are not disabled.
Hello Jason,

Hi Victor,
Thanks, but the fields were still disabled after inserting those codes
Are you sure you implemented my code and refreshed browser cache?
The code works, many thanks!
