Apply on Edit Page as Well

I am trying to apply a default value to an "Add Page".
I do not want the default to be used on the "Edit Page."
Even though I have not checked the box "Apply on Edit Page as Well", my default values are being applied to the "Edit Page"
A change in default value is applied to both the "Add Page" and "Edit Page".
What do I need to be doing different to have independent control over the "Default Values"?
Thanks

I had the same thing happen to me this week and here's what I did:

  1. Goto "Edit SQL query"
  2. Choose the table that has the field
  3. Choose the tab "SQL" it's the second tab
  4. Find your field in the SQL code

Select LastName,

FirstName,

City

from contacts;


Let's assume your field is "City" do the following:

Select LastName,

FirstName,

City,

City as 1_City // or any any name you want

from contacts;


Then you use the 1_city in place of city on the edit page. I went ahead and had both checked and deleted the row I didn't want. It works great! Thanks Jane for the suggestation early this week.

Thanks for the reply.
I want to use a default or lookup value on the "Add Page" only.

The "Edit Page" should show the value assigned on the "Add Page", but should be manually editable.
Isn't this what the "Apply on Edit Page as Well" should do, or just what is this checkbox used for?

You can but there isn't a way the break the field apart like you want unless you want to use some coding on the page. I'm new to PHPR so I don't really know what the "Apply on Edit Page as Well" but I would think it would be just for those setting that in the box area. The solution I gave will allow you to do what you want. The only thing is which field do you want to create the lookup for and other should be a text box. Maybe I'm not understanding the use of the lookup. How do you have it setup?

Thanks for the reply.
