Create input control with a default value

[jkeri]

i want to create an input control that shows a default value. The user can change the value if they wish.

 

 

 

I am not sure how to set up the input control.    I created TYPE: SINGLE VALUE and added the default value to the PATTERN. but it doesnt seem to work when the uses enters a value.

Put the default value in the parameter of your JRXML file.

this is the parameter in XML

<parameter name="FROMMATERIAL" class="java.lang.String"/>
    <defaultValueExpression><![CDATA['XX']]></defaultValueExpression>
    </parameter>

 

My default value to appear is 'XX' which the user can select or change the value. But Im getting an error:

'Invalid content was found starting with element 'defaultValueExpression'

Enter value with double quotes, like "XX" or new String("XX").

I had to verify this myself.
