Hello everyone! In Airtable, there’s a handy feature like choosing a default value for single select dropdowns. It would be great if it were also in Baserow, useful when a row should always have a certain default value by default, and it doesn’t have to be selected manually, which saves time.
This is a feature I would find very helpful as well. Thanks.
Hey @Alexander, @DataGecko, this feature request has been accepted. We even have an existing issue for it: Be able to specify a default value on all the fields where is makes sense (#2173) · Issues · Baserow / baserow · GitLab.
Do you think there are any other field types where we should introduce default options?
Oh, well let me think, possibly Number, Date and Duration… default value using a formula… that might be useful. Also a default for boolean would be nice. Thanks for asking.
hmm… most of my use cases are connected with single select, other field types are not as necessary as single dropdown) I will come with examples if remind something
Thank you @DataGecko. I’ve left a comment with your suggestion on the GitLab issue for developers to consider while working on the feature.
HI! I’ve just checked the airtable, they have 2 fields with default values: single select and single line text.
Maybe because 2 oh them make most sense
