Dashboard Tracker EpiCombo default value

Epicor ERP 10
1

I have created my own tracker EpiCombo on a Calculated field to show Part Status as Active/Inactive rather than using the Inactive fields Boolean checkbox. I have created a EpiStaticDataList on the Combo as Active/Inactive. I tried setting the default in InitializeCustomCode with epiCombo1.Value = “Active”, but it does nothing. I can do this for a Text Box and it works fine. I would also like to use AutRefresh on Load with these default. Any ideas?

I followed the example and it does work.

I do the customisation after the dashboard deploy.

Great information, this allowed me to get rid of a calculated field on simple Boolean fields. However I still cannot set a default value for any combo box, either based on a database field or a calculated field.

Is your tracker a input prompt only? As the combo box is bound to the field, it will set to the field based on what the view is.
If the tracker is input prompt only, I believe you can change it in the onLoad event.

It is input prompt only and I have tried setting a default in the onLoad event without success.

Then in that case, add a combo box, do not bind it to the view.

When the combo value change, update the checkbox of the Inactive field.

On the mainController Load, set the default value for the combo box.

call FillList() method - for example - yourCombo.FillList();
