[Qgis-user] Default values in form

[Blumentrath, Stefan]

Hi,

I am about to file a ticket for this. Another thought in this context:
When defining "default values" it would be splendid if one could use variables (e.g. %USER% or expressions like in the field calculator or Relation Reference widget). What do you think?
The latter could probably go into a new widget type "Calculated"?

Another thing in this context could be adding the possibility do define "Mouse-over effects" in order to help understanding attribute content better (e.g. Units, backgrounds, how to measure in the field...)?! Lables are not allways sufficient, but maybe the GUI gets too fidgety?

Should a request for this go into separate tickets?

Cheers
Stefan

Hello Mathias,

this would be great !
Additionally, this makes me think of another possible enhancement: when displaying a picture in a form tab, it could be nice to hide the label and path/url to the file, which is most of the time useless.  Do I need to do anything more to make these suggestions ?

I think this would fit into the area of this QEP:

https://github.com/m-kuhn/QGIS-Enhancement-Proposals/blob/fields-and-forms-redesign/QEP-Fields-and-forms-redesign.rst#31-fields

It could be added to the list "Information about fields" next to "constraints".

Any feedback on it is welcome.

Hei Didier,



I guess you could use a python init function for the form in order to define "default values" (see: http://nathanw.net/2011/09/05/qgis-tips-custom-feature-forms-with-python-logic/).

However, sounds like a useful enhancement of the Custom form functionality (at least I would be interested too)...



Cheers

Stefan

Hello,



Simple question : is there a way to set a default value for an attribute in QGis ?



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

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.



Thanks

Didier
