Default selection on chooser?

TCArknight · December 23rd, 2013, 06:20 PM

I have a chooser selection for race and I want to automatically select the Human race. Is there a defvalue setting I can use or another way to default the selection?

Thanks!
TC

Here's the page of the Savage Worlds walkthrough in the wiki where Human is made the default race for the Savage Worlds game: http://hlkitwiki.wolflair.com/index.php5?title=Races_and_Racial_Abilities_(Savag e)

Thanks Mathias!

I was looking at the portal and table itself and never thought of putting it in the bootstrap.1st entry...

I think TCArknight figured out the error, but if the link isn't working, add a ) to the end of the address - this forum has a bug detecting the ) at the end of a pasted in hyperlink, and I thought I fixed it, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly now.

Defaults for menu fields are set in the portal, but an actual pick that's added to the character goes in bootstrap.1st - both the permanent bootstraps and the defaults for choosers.

How would you do it for a menu_literal? I tried: <autoadd value="5" portal="techlvl"/>
, but I got:

The portal is:

If you're using a menu_literal, that's even easier to set a default for.

Go to the thing. Set a fieldval for this field's value:

<fieldval field="perTL" value="5"/>
