Choose a Default Value for a Column
|
Scenario/Problem: You want to define a default value for an existing or new column in a library or list. For example, in some instances, you want date columns to default to the current day’s date or text columns to default to the current user’s name; or for choice columns, where the user can choose from multiple choices, you may want to select one of the choices as the default. |
Solution: Some types of columns can have default values. Default values appear in the column when a user is creating a new list item or is uploading a new file, but the user can choose to change the value.
