Default value in ComboBox

Hi,

is it possible to set a default value with Lotus Script in a combo box?

I have a Script that puts a list in a combo box and sets a default value. In a dialog list the default value is shown. In a combo box not.

Thank you very much in advance for your help.

Greetings

Raul

Dialog lists will display values that aren’t in the list of choices. Comboboxes won’t – that’s just the way they are defined. You need to make sure your default value is in the list of choices.

In the actual field properties, set the default value to the combobox field’s name. Then in the script, set your default value - NotesDocument.FieldName = defaultValue.

Hi Andre, hi Esther,

thank you very much for your help.

I payed attention to both of your recommendations. The default value is displayed in the combobox only, when I choose the option “Allow values not in list” in the field properties.

It is really strange. Perhaps it is a bug in the version 7.02.
