Only-once default text in the form

If you enter data and save the form. Then the entered field values are saved with the form. If they are changed when the form is reopened, then something is overriding the saved data. The question is, what's overriding the saved values. You've got a complex setup, but the xsd should have no affect on this. The XSD is only used to setup the structure of the data model, not the values that are in it.

To debug it you need to create a simplified test form, where you can check each of the things that are done to the form.

In your script, the quoted "null" is the string value "null". You want to test agains the actual null value, so don't quote it. But you should not have to do this at all.

Two different situation:
first is with javaScript
If I use javaScript, what you said is true, saved data is overriden by default value. (In my example default value "Window" and "XP" come back. I tested it with dummy field as integer and as string, both give the same result.)
Second:
If the textfield has default value in the definition (Object-Value/ Default). This default value is not displayed in the pdf form online and input data can be saved in that field. (In the adobe LiveCycle designer "Preview PDF" the default value is displayed)

Hi Thomp,

Problem has been solved. javaScript was not correct iso "assign to", i used "equal to".

Thanks your reaction.

I am trying to set a text box to a default value of $10.00 and add it into the sum of the calculations. All the fields that have no default value are working fine.

Please start a new thread.
