Question
A custom field in a project (or another entity) should be initialized with a default value based on another field of the entity (e.g. billable). Is this possible?

 

 

Answer
It is not possible to initialize a custom field based on another field value.

There is however a potential workaround - it is possible to have calculated number fields and the calculation can call a stored procedure in the database. So it is possible to use such a calculated numeric field and have the stored procedure update other fields instead, e.g. UDF Code values.


This can be done when you save an entity, it is not possible for creating a new entity that the field is already set when you open the window for creation. Only when you save this workaround might be used.
