I forgot that detail. It is a required field. Leaving it blank would cause an issue.
- Is it possible you could just require it after some other condition like if some field is not blank or some value? If quickbase doesn't register a new user until they actually login perhaps you could create a new user but never register then use that as the user? Not tested of course so not sure if it'll work.
- This might actually work. I can create a user in the application called "unkown@url.com" When that is selected, it will indicate that the record needs to be properly assigned.
- Let me know if it works, good luck!
- Creating unknown user it's like wasting your user licenses.
- The theory is that it's not used until the person logins to the app for the first time. He could check his user count, add the fake user again to test that though.
- I think we can approach in this way also.
What do you think?
1- make this field not required.
2- When you save a record without entering the value in this field at that time Fire a webhook and see if the field is blank. If it is blank fill it with the default value.
