Another Fields Form Manager question. 🙂

I see there is an “init value” section for setting the default state of a field. But how do I set default values for Categories and Locations? The “Edit Option” link which normally pops a list of choices and their values is blank for Categories and Locations. If I enter in the text of the default Category or Location it’s not used. I also tried the number column in the Global Settings -> Categories or Global Settings -> Locations list and it didn’t work.

Also, how do I set default values for the Date – Calendar fields? For example, I would like to set the default publish date to be now and the default expiration date to be 7 days later.

How can these types of default values be set?

Dear sharpdome,

“But how do I set default values for Categories and Locations?”
=> You can fill Category/Location ID to the init value by go to: “Global Settings -> Categories or Global Settings -> Locations -> Edit Location”, you will see Location ID on that.

“How do I set default values for the Date – Calendar fields? For example, I would like to set the default publish date to be now and the default expiration date to be 7 days later”
=> JAJobBoard doesn’t support this function.

Can this be added as a new feature? Less clicks is always better. No need to force users to select dates that will almost always be the same. 🙂

How can I edit the “Business Type” that appears on the business profile? We deal with ONLY healthcare related businesses and there are more specific categories that we can use here. I see how to change categories and such but I cannot find how to change this form field?? Thanks
