Hi,<br>
<br>
Yes, tooltips that show the comments would also be great. It would
be nice to show<br>
<br>
* the database comments (if supported by the backend) as default<br>
* allow to override it in the configuration<br>
<br>
Default values from expressions would also be a great addition. I
think it would be better to define it directly on the field (and not
on its widget). This way you can later turn the widget into
something else (e.g. from text to range) without reconfiguring the
default value. And it should have defaults for the defaults :) being
read from the database where possible.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Matthias<br>

<pre>Hei Didier,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>I guess you could use a python init function for the form in order to define "default values" (see: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://nathanw.net/2011/09/05/qgis-tips-custom-feature-forms-with-python-logic">http://nathanw.net/2011/09/05/qgis-tips-custom-feature-forms-with-python-logic</a>/).<o:p></o:p></pre>

<pre>Hello,<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>Simple question : is there a way to set a default value for an attribute in QGis ? <o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre><o:p> </o:p></pre>
<pre>I have Postgis layers in QGis in which I’m inserting or updating data, and I would like that some fields would be filled automatically unless I fill<o:p></o:p></pre>
<pre>them myself. Well that’s the definition of a default value, and I don’t think that using layers stored in Postgis would make any difference.<o:p></o:p></pre>
