[Qgis-user] Default Value for a Widget

[Randal Hale]

I have an address point database. There are some string calculations 
that have to happen after a point has been added. I've hit a bit of a 
stuck spot with this one.

I have three fields: fielda. fieldb, and fieldc

When the user adds the information for those three fields I have one 
field that needs to add the three strings together. In the fieldtotal 
column I set up an expression (in the attributes form) for the default 
value that is: "fielda" || ' ' || "fieldb" || ' ' || "fieldc" and place 
that in default value.

example: "123", "MAIN", "456" and I want "123 MAIN 456"

It won't calculate at the end - it's as if I'm forgetting to set 
something. If I check the "Apply default value on update" checkbox it 
will update if I edit the point - just not on initial point creation.

I'm pretty sure I'm missing something.
