2.8.1 Edit Default Values</font>
<div> </div>
</div>
<div>
<p>Is "Pre-populate Records?" checked in your own user
preferences? User preferences take precedence over repository
preferences, and both take precedence over global preferences.
Initially your user preferences are unset, so a checkbox like
"Pre-populate Records?" will appear unticked, but if it is
enabled in repository or global preferences then it will work.
However, if you edit your user preferences, for example to
change the columns in a list view, when you click save that
unticked checkbox means the feature will be disabled, for you,
from that point on.<br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
I do not think there is any way to return a user account to its
initial state except by deleting a row in the MySQL database. It
would be better if single checkboxes were replaced with three
radio buttons labeled something like "Yes", "No", and "Use
repository/global setting". Better yet, if admins could lock
them into the last of those three, preventing users from
changing them, then you could enforce policies like always user
default values. But I suspect that would require a lot of work
to implement and test.
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Another thing to look out for is that default values are set
up on a per-repository basis. So you can have "Pre-populate
Records?" enabled in global preferences, but it will only
actually work globally if all the repositories in your system
have been set up with default values.<br>
