<b>Subject:</b> Re: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] ArchivesSpace 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>
