I've put some default values into forms I'm creating with contour 3.06 and they don't appear in the form field when I preview the form. What is the format of the Default Value field? For a Text Field/ Combo/Dropdown box
I've tried the following ways with no luck
(1) Hello World (just the text)
(2) {Hello World} (inside {} braces)
(3) 'Hello World'/"Hello World" (single and double quotes}
(4){"Hello World"} (Eg. 2 and 3 combined)
I've even used razor notation
Thanks

P.S. Can I populate a Contour Text Field with data given from a .net usercontrol?
Oh how silly I've been I wasn't saving the form after I'd updated the field so the change wasn't made.
By the way is there a way of putting data from another field into another field type in contour 3.06? I'm trying to create a lookup field that fills in standard text fields with data returned from the lookup field (i.e. postcode field - with address, town and county as the standard fields)
Yeah, the lookup field isn't the problem I was just wondering if there was a regular expression I could use in the default value field for standard field types that could take the lookup results but I don't think there is as I think that default value field just renders plain text
Contour default values - not visible why?

Should be just the text no special syntax
Just tested and it works... so just set the default value setting of the field...

Hmmm think you'll just need some custom js for that or a custom fieldtype would also make sense
So a postcode with lookup fieldtype where you can select the other fields to populate with the lookup results, shouldn't be that hard
