Title: Create a new field on an existing folder with existing documents
Post by: Andreas Baaserud Hauge on November 30, 2021, 06:05:31 AM

Hi,

If I want to create a new field on an existing folder with existing documents, what happends to the existing documents in that folder?

• will the existing documents get the new field with some kind of default / null value so I can update this field on the existing documents?
• will only new documents created after the field has been created, get this new field?

Its snowing in Norway today

If the new folder field maps to an existing application group field, the value in the AG field will be displayed in the folder.
If the new folder field maps to a new application group field, for existing rows the new AG field will be populated with default values when the field is added. The default values depend on the field type. That is documented somewhere, but I could not put my hands on it.
