Category Date Field Default Value

[menu]

Greeting all:
I have created a category that has three fields one of them is "Date" field and I want the user every time he adds this category to have a default value of current date + 7 days. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Alshreef

If you change the way the date attribute is designed in core livelink wouldn't that affect other categories using the same DATE field attribute also.There is also a freebie in OT's KB I beleive is called attribute extensions.It allows you to create extensions to the attribute data types(An example of creating a SSN attribute comes with it).Another way would be to override the attribute weblingo screen(the popup that
applies the category) using a mapping tool such as customizations_RT.If you choose that route you will probably end up doing something like in psuedocode

    if category is defined and it matches "mycategory"
      grab system date (client javascript function)
      apply systemdate+correction (correction is 7)
      end if


submit

Well, if I called the wrong number, why did you answer the phone?
