Setting a Default button to add default values across multiple fields.

Hey Everyone, I have another question that I can't seem to figure out. Is there a way that I can add a button to my form that will auto-populate fields with default values, but the user can change ...

APIs and custom code

You can use API_EditRecord in a URL Button, like this:

URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=API_EditRecord" &
"&rid=" & [Record ID#] &
"&apptoken=token" &
"&_fid_6=& "value" &
"&_fid_7=" & "value" &
"&_fid_8=" & "value" &
"&rdr=" &
URLEncode(URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() &
"?a=dr&rid=" & [Record ID#])

Hey Ahuva,

Could you give me some tips on getting this set up? I've got the API Call set up and created an app token, changed the fid's to the desired values, but getting errors for invalid input (Code 2). Will this allow me to create a button that will add these values to the fields I select?

Thanks,
