Hi,

Is it possible to control the initial value of a column based on the previous view.

For example, if I am on a view of a list of chicken, when I do a new entry, i want the initial value to be Chicken. and if I am on a view of a list of pork, when I do a new entry, the initial value would be pork.

Is this possible?

Initial Value is very customizable, as any other field that accepts an expression, but I don’t understand your example.
Maybe a look at your data could help?
