Experts, please help!!

I have a form with 2 views.

View 1 has a field named "Name". View 2 has a field named "Notice"

On view 2, I set up the default value for "Notice" as Concat ( Name, " has enrolled this year")

The form data will be submitted to sharepoint library.

I tried to edit "Notice" field on view 2 and submitted it to the library, but when I opened it I didn't see the changes I made.

Is there any way to make the field "notice" Editable and being able to save the chaanges on View 2?

I know if I set up the value for notice just by text string without inserted value, it will capture my changes but that is not what I want.

Please help, thanks.

 Hello Henry,

 For a simple fix I would add a rule to either the Name field or FormLoad to set the Notice field to the concatenation, instead of the default value. When a field contains a default value, the form will recalculate to the original value when set to always update. By using a rule, you will then be able to change the notice field and save the updates without the default overwriting your data.

Hope that helps!

Thanks Bre, can you please provide an example of how to adding the rule? I didn't quite understand your recommended solution, sorry.
