Hello,

The auto-complete widget default value does not seem to be working.

Repro.

(1) Scroll down to - Invoice Sponsor - INVOICE FORM - (auto-complete widget).

(2) Click Gear button and enter some Default Value into sidebar box. I used UG.

(3) The Default Value appears in the WYSIWYG editor, but not on Preview Form.

(4) Further, Default Value is gone from sidebar box when re-open form (after clicking Back to My Forms).

Other values seem to be stored correctly (I tried Sub Label).

Config. Windows X and (current) Chrome browser.

Am I doing something wrong?

Regards,

LD

The Autocomplete widget seems to work well on my end, please check my screencast below.

If you want to display a default value in that field, you will need to enter the value in the "Default Value" option of the Autocomplete widget:

Let us know if you are referring to something else.

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion.

I have tried to enter UG into the Default Value before.

But the Default Value (a) does not show up in Preview and (b) is gone when I re-open the form.

You're right. The default value does not work when you preview the form in published mode.

I have now elevated this issue to the next level support so that they can investigate the problem. We will notify you here and on your email at once when a status update is available.

Thank you for reporting this problem.

This is fixed now.

Please kindly add a default value again and then save your form.

Cheers!
