Hello,

I am wondering if there is a way to keep JavaScript as the default language for all forms in LiveCycle. By default it sets to FormCalc and from what I can find, you have to change the default on each form. Does anyone know of a setting that can be set on LC itself for all forms to use JavaScript?

Thanks for any insight!

Yes, LiveCycle uses templates for creating all the forms. Look in the
/Designer 8.2/EN/Templates/Blankfolder. Open of the template you use for creating a new form, probably "Letter.tds". Change the default scripting language to "JavaScript". Save and Restart LiveCycle. Now when you create a new form it will be defaulted to JavaScript.
