How can I set a default value for a flexfield segment?
When you define or edit a flexfield segment, you pick a value from the assigned value set and set it as default.
You can set the default value for a descriptive flexfield segment to be a parameter. The mapped entity object attribute provides the initial default value for the segment.
You can set the default value to be a constant, if appropriate to the data type of the value set assigned to the segment.
In addition to an initial default value, you can set a derivation value for updating the attribute's value every time the parameter value changes. The parameter you select identifies the entity object source attribute. Any changes in the value of the source attribute during run time are reflected in the value of the segment.
If the display type of the segment is a check box, you can set whether the default value of the segment is checked or unchecked.
