Data field FUNCTIONAL_YN does not support the default value (Message 14120)

[Former Member]

L.S.,

When defining a data type of category NC, I would like to use data fields of type checkbox. At NC logging data entry the checkbox should be "checked" by default.

When looking for the proper value to indicate that the ccheckbox is selected, I have tried values like: 0, 1, TRUE, FALSE, T, t, X, x ... etc. But always I got the same error message:

"Data field FUNCTIONAL_YN does not support the default value (Message 14120)"

What should be the right value?

Kind regards, Hans

Hans,

It looks as if by means of GUI you cannot specify default state of being selected for Checkbox field. The default state is unselected.

It is easier to invert the statement in the label of the field so that an operator could use unselected state as default.

Sergiy,

The customer already indicated that inverting the statement is not preferred.

Regarding your other remark, do you suggest to install a different GUI version to get defaults accepted?

Hans,

Development could implement this as a customization. I believe it shouldn't be hard.
