We have a request form user picker field which is filtered out to reflect the requester's supervisor and his supervisor's supervisor.
We would like to set this user picker value as default to requester's supervisor.
The default value present in the form field only allows to set a static user as default not dynamic values like requester's supervisor.
Any suggestions
The problem is that you want to use the supervisor's id, even if it is default or a picked one. If you have two fields you have to unify it somehow. My solution is a static text field containing both field's value (concatenating them) which works pretty fine until you don't change the radio button selection (actually I use drop-down select instead of radio buttons but seems that radio button's behavior is similar). In this case the default supervisor id and the selected supervisor id will be concatenated in the static field so it loses meaning.
I would appreciate any better solution.
What is the full use case? Is it related to approval? We had similar use case related to approval.
we have implemented use cases regarding approvals.
We need to show it in the form that user picker field defaults to user supervisor
Just an idea,
In request form, define a radio button with Default(Request Supervisor) and No Default(others)
If "No Default" is selected then u show the user picker.
If "Default" is selected then default value will be ${avform.requestor.Supervisor} /${avform.user.Supervisor}
