Hi,<br />
which SharePoint version and edition?<br />
What field type is your column?<br />
<br />
The one possible workaround I can think of is to pass the value via query string (url parameter) having a small Javascript on the new item page to replace / set this field.<br />

I'll standby with your &quot;possible workaround&quot; in case the version/column-type I just provided make a difference for another possibility.

Hello Experts,<br />
<br />
Is there a way to change the default value of a column w/o going into <b>List Settings</b>? &nbsp;I have a <b>List</b> that has a default value for a <b>column</b> (category) setup.<br />
<br />
When I have to enter a lot of data (items) for a particular hardware category (monitors, desktops, phones, laptops, etc), I'd like to be able to change the default of the category w/o having to go into the <b>List Settings</b>.<br />
<br />
I would appreciate any guidance...thank you.
