Resetting Attributes Conditionally

This helps in ensuring a default value to be added to the target attribute if the user leaves the attribute blank or null. If the user does not select any value in the attribute, the default value be selected by default.
The following table displays the datatypes on which you can perform this action and the value of Value Expression required.
Action | Datatypes supported | Value Expression |
|---|---|---|
