Default Value problem
I would like to ask you if you could undestand the reason why I can't set a default value to my numeric fields. Thanks!

  You can,in the settings of the field. But the default value is only created when a new record is created, not in already existing records. Steven

  Thanks! Could we define a field when it is empty in Ninox coding?

  Are you asking if a formula field can check if a field is empty and then put some value in it? If so then yes. If you have a text field called Field1 and you want to check if Field1 is empty, you would: 1) create a button and put the following in the On Click section: if Field1 = null then Field1 := "No Longer Empty" end This will only update the record you are looking at. Hope this helps.

  Clicked to fast. A formula field can't update another field, but a button can. See previous post for 1 option. If you are doing a 1 time update, then you can use the handy Update Multiple Records function. If you are needing to check for emtpy field constantly, then a button can be created to do it.

  Thanks for the response, yes what I just wanted is to check if a field is empty which as you said you can check by ''= null''. It is working! You guys are making such a great job in the community!
