Maybe "Default Value for New Row" should be the new name to choose. It would make the developer think of embedded / child tables in the app and the New Row button on those tables -- effectively becoming embedded training to help the developer do it right and make the customer happy the first time.
Jordan Smith, you asked, "please confirm that this is the exact area you are suggesting this change (see screenshot)?" Yes, that is the exact area I am suggesting this change be made.
You further asked, "ON an any Properties dialog that has an input mode (including Part 2 input modes), this "Default" option is causing confusion?" Yes, every Input Mode (including Part 2 Input Mode) property has this confusing feature that I am asking to be fixed.
Hello Jason,
Can you please confirm that this is the exact area you are suggesting this change (see screenshot)? ON an any Properties dialog that has an input mode (including Part 2 input modes), this "Default" option is causing confusion?
Agreed. This is a common misinterpretation, especially considering that the standard input mode "" (null/empty string) has a separate meaning.
