Well- that's weird that some rules like this work and this one doesn't. Is the default in all of them set to change if the data source is updated? I don't like default values - I prefer to use rules all the time, because I'm a control freak. You could test removing the default value (just temporarily) to verify the issue is not with your rule that sets it to N/A, that may be worth a try.

Override a default field value from a data connection

Hi,

I am trying to override a field value that has a default value which has been pulled in from a data connection. When the field is blank I want to set the value "N/A". My form field is a text field that is pulling in a date from a library data connection and then taking a substring of it into MM/DD/YYYY format. I am using a simple rule with a condition where if formField A is blank set formField A to "N/A". I have also tried setting the condition to be where if the data connection field is blank set formField A to "N/A". Neither is working. Another important note is that I have the same rule and default value setup on other fields and if the fields are not blank (contain dates), the rule works as intended. Any ideas on how to set this field's value when blank?

Thanks,

General
