Default value for text field being ignored

On my form I have a text field ("Fulltime_result") that is set to have a default value of 1. This will eventually be a hidden field; it will receive a value of 1 from a condition that is executed when a toggle field ("Work full-time") is set to "No" (which it is set to by default). So if the toggle is set to "No", "Fulltime_result" should be set to 1, and if set to "Yes", "Fulltime_result" should be set to null.

The problem is that the field does not assume the default value of 1 as it is set to when the form loads.

How can I fix this?

Hi,

The caused of the default value 1 being cleared on the form was due to the conditional statement that was also using the same field.

Modify the conditional statement to this

It will now load the form with a default value 1

Hope this help. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

Thanks.

That did it! Great thanks. Just for some constructive criticism--the conditions feature is pretty powerful, but not that intuitive. I would expect you guys get a lot of support questions just because the way in which one expects them to work is not how they actually work.

Keep up the good work nonetheless, in general the service is great.
