You cannot delete a default value if it has been assigned to an event prompt. You cannot delete a System Required default value.
You can use the following semantics in a Default Values Query to specify the person for whom the event is posting, the name of the event, and other values:
[%GID%]
[%DID%]
[%PERSON_ID%]
[%PERSON_NUM%]
[%CREATOR_ID%]
[%EVENT_NAME%]
[%TIMESTAMP%]
[%ROUNDED_TIMESTAMP%]
[%POST_DATE%]
[%TIMEZONE%]
You can also use the event's prompts (defined on the Prompt tab) in the query. For example, if the event has a Project number prompt (F_PROJECT), you can use [%F_PROJECT%] in the query to specify the Project number the user entered. You can use the F_HOURS and F_POSTING_DATE prompts, even if they are not included in the event's prompt configuration.
