Returns the default values for a data source.
Description
Use the Defaults function to pre-populate a data entry form, making it easier to fill.
This function returns a record that contains the default values for the data source. If a column within the data source doesn't have a default value, that property won't be present.
Data sources vary in how much default information they provide, including not providing any at all. When you work with a collection or another data source that doesn't support default values, the Defaults function will return an empty record.
You can combine the Defaults function with the Patch function to create a record.
Syntax
Defaults( DataSource )
- DataSource – Required. The data source for which you want default values.
