In form designer, does a default setting for a field have any effect if the field is optional?
Using Jamroom
researchcooperative:1. Does a default setting have any effect if the field is optional? I suppose that it won't, but am not sure.
If the field is NOT required, and a default is set for the field in the form designer, the default value is used.
researchcooperative:2. If the field is "required", will a default option ensure that the field is filled, regardless of whether or not the user has thought about the field content? I suppose that it will, but am not sure.
Yes.
Let me know if that helps.
