We recently added a new column to a long established table. It's a one character yes/no column. The DBA tells me that this is an attribute "Named default "Set_to_N" is bound to Telephone.Preferred_Num. The problem is that when I add a new row in that datawindow in my application, I get a message "Required value missing for preferred_Num on row 3. Please enter a value." If I check the box and then uncheck it, I'm able to save the row. So it seems like the "Set_to_N" is not taking effect. Is there a default value property I can get at in the datawindow painter? My current idea is that I have to do something in the catalog tables, but I can't figure out how to get to them. It's been many years, over a decade, since I've done that. Googling hasn't helped me. I'm running 12.5. How do I get to them?
Other info
When a new row is added in the datawindow I get no error, but neither is the row actually saved to the database.
I can add a new row to that table via a SQL statement without setting the value of the preferred_num column. It is automatically set to 'N'.
TIA
