Howto Set A Default Value For An Input Field In Member List

Hi,

I use the extension [b]multimodelform.

[/b]

I have a dropdown list in the member list of the form. The selected value of the last row should be copied when creating a new row. In other words: The last selected value should get the default value for this data field.

I realized that there is a hidden row in the multiModelForm member table. All data fields in this hidden template have an empty value and if it is a dropdown list, there is no value selected.

How can I set a default value to one or more template input fields?

You can set the option ‘clearInputs’ (default=true) of the js-plugin.

If false, the new row will keep the values of the cloned row (=the last in the list)

This should work:




$this->widget('ext.multimodelform.MultiModelForm',array(

       'options'=>array('clearInputs'=>false),

       .....   


    ));




Ok, this option only works for me with text input fields. If the input field is a dropdownlist it does not keep ( = copy) the selected item in this list. Can you help me to manage this?

Many thanks in advance.

Since version 5.0 of the extension multimodelform it works. If the option


'clearInputs'=>false

is set, then the selected value of a dropdownlist is copied into the new row.
