Following on from this question: Referencing parent field on document creation I’m using the formula for the default value for a name field.
IfError(@IfError(@GetDocField($ref;"ProductFamilyManager");
@GetDocField(ParentUNID;"ProductFamilyManager"));
"")
This works when it’s a computed field, but not when i change it to be editable with a default value formula.
Any ideas how I can get the field populating with the default value?
The best way of doing this is to use @InheritedDocumentUniqueId. You need to enable inheritance to make that function available, but you don’t actually have to inherit any of the parent values.
You should definitely not have to be using two different techniques and @IfError to get this done. And btw: did you know that @IfError is obsolete as of Domino 7?
