[Qgis-user] Default values in form

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

When doing anything with "default" values we also have to think about 
the option we have which automatically fills in the values of the last 
inserted record.

Which one has precedence? The default value or the value of the last record?

Also - I think we probably need a mixture of default values and values 
from the last record - but I think the values of the last record are not 
fine-grained enough - so we could tell QGIS to use the values from the 
last record for some columns but for other columns use the default value.

We have to think about both approaches and need a collaboration of both, 
in my opinion.
