By default, these values are filled by &quot;null&quot; but i want to change these values How this is possibleen-USTelligent Community 12https://community.appian.com/thread/26445?ContentTypeID=1Fri, 15 Jan 2016 20:17:49 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:6b0945b6-4fde-41d8-8224-9ce4b7727758Jennifer DurinaI would be wary about making it a habit to default data using the suggested if() method in the form. If a form field is not interacted with, the field will not save. In this case if zero is not interacted with and it doesn&#39;t save zero it probably won&#39;t be a problem (since integers default to zero anyways). <br /><br />However if you&#39;re defaulting a field with something you may expect the user to take (let&#39;s say you default a boolean approval to &quot;false&quot;) and the user doesn&#39;t change it, a null will be saved, not false. <br /><br />A better way to default data on a form is to default the value of input in the user input task itself. You can default the data by setting the &quot;value&quot; attribute in the input to the data you want it to default to. Also by defaulting the data being passed in, your interface is more reusable--you could use the same interface but default different data values for different scenarios. <br /><a href="https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/7.11/Data_Tab.html#Creating_Node_Inputs">forum.appian.com/.../Data_Tab.html</a><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://community.appian.com/thread/26398?ContentTypeID=1Thu, 14 Jan 2016 19:29:15 GMTd3a83456-d57b-489c-a84c-4e8267bb592a:c472d742-be59-42e2-b5e4-f3f427eb25d9tiagosThanks a lot!

In 7.11, you can use placeholder text, if the goal is to display &quot;0&quot; on the interface (see <a href="https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/7.11/SAIL_Components.html#Integer">forum.appian.com/.../SAIL_Components.html</a> ). You can also use the expression if(isnull(&lt;YOUR_ITEM&gt;, 0, &lt;DESIRED_VALUE_IF_NOT_NULL)) for the &quot;value&quot; attribute. For easy reuse, you can save this expression as a rule. You can also pass &quot;starting values&quot; into the interface, using parameters (see <a href="https://forum.appian.com/suite/help/7.11/Configuring_Process_Variables.html)">forum.appian.com/.../Configuring_Process_Variables.html)</a>.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
