Default Values not working

I've got a form that, within a repeating table has a field that I've
tried to define with a default value.  However, the value never gets
set.  This value is picked up from another field, but I know that field
is not blank.  The field I'm trying to set is not shown on this form,
but is used for processing purposes.

Any help would be appreciated.

TIA,

Michael Schnell

Hi Michael,

The default value is only going to fire upon a new record. In a small
sample I created, this works as expected:

- Add a text box to a form
- Add a repeating table
- Point the "default value" of one of the fields in the repeating table to
the first text box
- Preview the form, enter: Test in the first text box and each time I add a
new record to the repeating table, that value is picked up

If this does not match what you are doing, can you provide some steps so I
can see how you are implementing this?

Thanks,
