how to set default value in form input -only for Add- - Ahmed Haroon - 09-06-2022
how i can add a default value in input form field which user trying Add data. if field is empty this should fill with default value otherwise show the saved value. currently i need it for a dropdown list. for some reasone, have 3 forms on a single table which are specific for their uses.
like a customer specific form to add a Customer it should contain user_type = "customer"
if want to add a Rider it should contain user_type = "rider"
same requirement in case where i want to restrict on other types of fields like a text, number, date, checkbox etc.
please, if possible, have link(s) for different types of solution(s).
regards
