Radio Group Option with Default Codes
Radio group attributes can have default codes added as an option (you can also add default codes as a nested option). The default codes are processed when the attribute is opened and the processed value is added to the list of values the user can select. Not all default codes are supported in radio group options. The supported codes are:
- Feature Created Default Codes
- Calculation Based Default Codes
Feature Created Default Codes
These default codes are calculated and set only when a feature is created.

Calculation Based Default Codes
These default codes are for calculation based fields, They run when they are autonavigated over and when the form is opened.
| Code | Description | Example | Tags |
|---|---|---|---|
| !CALC | Perform a calculation using the given expression. The expression can include mathematical operations and field names. You can make the calculation react to attribute updates by prefixing the attribute name with $ | !CALC 2 + 2, !CALC field1 * field2, !CALC field1 + 5, !CALC $field1 + $field2 | calculation, math, expression |
| !CALCW3WNOW | Get the users current position’s What3Words address. This calc code does not run when the feature type is opened – only when the attribute is selected/autoselected. | !CALCW3WNOW | calculation, w3w, what3words, location |
Modifier Default Codes
These default codes modify properties of an attribute (mandatory, hidden, read only etc) depending on a condition.
| Code | Description | Example | Tags |
|---|---|---|---|
| !MODIFIER-FORCEPHOTOCAPTURE | Modifies a FileUpload attribute to be mandatory and visible if the expression evaluates to true, otherwise it is hidden and not mandatory. The example below makes the attribute mandatory and visible if the value of the attribute with the code ‘condition_field’ is ‘needs_repair’. The dollar sign makes this reactive, so it will reevaluate when the value of ‘condition_field’ changes. The expression must evaluate to a boolean value. | !MODIFIER-FORCEPHOTOCAPTURE $condition_field == ‘needs_repair’ | modifier, photo, nested photo |
| !MODIFIER-SHOWWHEN | Modifies an attribute to be visible if the expression evaluates to true, otherwise it is hidden. The example below makes the attribute visible if the value of the attribute with the name ‘status’ is set to ‘active’. The dollar sign makes this reactive, so it will reevaluate when the value of ‘status’ changes. The expression must evaluate to a boolean value. | !MODIFIER-SHOWWHEN $status == ‘active’ | modifier, hidden |
| !MODIFIER-HIDEWHEN | Modifies an attribute to be hidden if the expression evaluates to true, otherwise it is visible. The example below makes the attribute hidden if the value of the attribute with the name ‘status’ is set to ‘inactive’. The dollar sign makes this reactive, so it will reevaluate when the value of ‘status’ changes. The expression must evaluate to a boolean value. | !MODIFIER-HIDEWHEN $status == ‘inactive’ | modifier, hidden |
| !MODIFIER-HIDE | Modifies an attribute to be hidden. | !MODIFIER-HIDE | modifier, hidden |
Sketch Attribute Default Codes
These default codes are used specifically with sketch attributes (FileUpload attributes with a Drawing attribute setting) to load images into the sketch canvas. The PNG images must be uploaded to a location with the format like ‘filename.png.system’. But can then be accessed across a project.
| Code | Description | Example | Tags |
|---|---|---|---|
| !LOADIMAGE(filename) | Loads a specific image file directly into the sketch canvas, assumes the extension is .png | !SKETCHLOAD(photoname) | sketch, image, load |
| !LOADIMAGE([attributename]) | Loads an image linked to an attribute value, where the attribute name in square brackets is replaced with the actual attribute value. Assumes the extension is .png | !SKETCHLOAD([inspection_id]) | sketch, image, load, dynamic |
