Explain dynamic defaults that refer to calculations #204
Description
Based on some initial findings from a dynamic defaults tester.
Explain that this won't work:
| type | name | label | calculation | default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| decimal | a | random() | ||
| integer | b | Enter | ${a} |
Because the default calculation takes place only once, and before the regular calculation. Regular calculations are still empty when dynamic defaults are calculated.
Solution is usually to move calculation also to default column if ${a} has to be re-used.
| type | name | label | calculation | default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| decimal | a | random() | ||
| integer | b | Enter | ${a} |
If {a} is not re-used, it could of course simply be:
| type | name | label | calculation | default |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| integer | b | Enter | random() |
