Default values/filters/sorting Setting

This menu allows you to fill fields with default value for Values in cards, filters and sorting in lists.
Technical knowledge is required to read the content of the HTML pages to get the URL or the key name of a field

Identify the fields

• Relative URL : You must enter the relative path of the page URL. If you include parameters in URL, the default values will be effective if all parameters are set to same value.
  Example:
  For the form to create a new third party, it is societe/card.php.
  For URL of external modules installed into custom directory, do not include the "custom/", so use path like mymodule/mypage.php and not custom/mymodule/mypage.php.
  If you want default value only if url has some parameter, you can use societe/card.php?abc=val1&def=val2
  Also note that overwritting default values for form creation works only for pages that were correctly designed (so with parameter action=create or presend...)
• Field : This is the name of the HTML field. Technical knowledge is required to read the content of the HTML page to get the key name of a field : Find the id="xxxxxxx"
• Value : You can use any fixed values of use the Variable substitution system
