Configuring Default Logic
ADempiere's Default Logic concept is useful when we want to assign some default value to a field. The default value can be a static value or can be a derived value. In the MOM window, we have the Start Date field, which we would like to default to the current date so that when a user creates a MOM, it is pre-populated and the user is allowed to change it, if needed. Let us see how we can accomplish this by using the Default Logic concept.
How to do it...
1. Log in as System/System with the System Administrator role.
2. Go to the Window, Tab, and the Field window and open the detail of the Start Date field of the MOM tab on the Field tab.
3. Specify
@Date@as the field value of Default Logic.

4. Log out and log in as GardenAdmin/GardenAdmin with the GardenWorld Admin role.
5. Go to the Minutes Of Meeting window.
6. Click on the New Record toolbar button. This will populate the Start Date with the current date, using the Default Logic.
