method

SelectField.DefaultFrom

Use a callback to choose the initial choice value when this field is omitted.

Arguments

ArgumentTypeDescription
callbackDefaultFunc[string]A non-nil function that receives operation.DefaultContext and returns an operation.Value[string] plus an error. Return Present(value) to supply a value, Empty to supply no default, or an error to stop the operation.

Returns

A new SelectField with this callback as its only default. The original field is unchanged; this replaces any previous Default or DefaultFrom setting.

SelectField

How it works

The callback runs on the server when omitted input is eligible for initialization. It does not prefill an unsaved form or refill a field on every edit. See the default values guide for new objects, repeated rows, and locales.

Return a declared choice’s Value, not its display label.
