**Resolved**Setting a property with no user input required

Post by BaconFries »

Ok this is for support, but if any other builder has a input if you wish to share please do. I am working on a extension it will will have at least ten inputs, each input is broken into three seperate properties. The first two are required to user filled, the third that is preset (or should be)that requires no user input. Now everything works aslong as I still set the third property what I really want is to be able to set this property so when saved as a extension the user does not need to fill this in as it is already set and if possible hid so that they are only required to fill the firrst two.

I'm not sure if I understand you correctly.
But doesn't the 'default value' do what you want?

Are you using a dataset?
The problem with datasets is that there is no default value until the dataset exists. If the user did not add an item then there is no dataset and no default value.
