When running a quick action from the mobile app, like for creating a work order, it can be difficult to identify where initial field values come from. Fields can have default values that you can find using Object Manager. Also, quick actions can have predefined values for fields. We try to use a predefined value as the initial value, and only use a different value when no predefined value exists or when offline.
The following table lists the initial field values given different criteria.
| Action | Does a Predefined Value Exist? | Initial Online Value | Initial Offline Value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Create a new record | Yes | Predefined Value* | None |
| No | Default Value | None | |
| Update an existing record | Yes | Predefined Value* | Existing Value |
| No | Existing Value | Existing Value |
* Predefined values can contain formulas. A blank value appears if the server can’t resolve the formula.
