If chosen, provide an expression via the Value field that will be used to determine the default value for the field when a new record is created.
NOTE: The Expression option is for developer use, and this functionality is not supported by CMiC Support Agreements. This option requires knowledge of the Groovy language, knowledge of Groovy support in ADF Business Components and some knowledge of attribute naming conventions in UIRuntime programs. Please note that a technical work order (TWO) is required for any corrections required due to use of this functionality.
Literal
If chosen, the user can provide a literal value via the Value field to default for the field when a new record is created.
Value
Depending on the option chosen via the Type field, either enter the expression to determine the field’s default value, or enter a literal value for the field’s default value.
The default value entered here gets displayed by the Default Value field on the Fields tab of the Lite Editor.
