Default values not displayed for inputfield
Hi,
I have a scenario whenever a person goes to the Home Tab,he is taken to a Disclaimer Page and whenever he/she accepts the terms,a new section is rendered of the same VF page which has a standard controller and apex tags like inputfield which have a default value set at the field level.But I am not able to get the default values as soon as I hit Accept Terms and conditions button.
But if I have two different VF Pages,this works very fine and I am able to get the default values.
Any inputs are highly appreciated.

In your constructor call the method with 0 attributes to show defaults.

I did try this but still it doesnot turn out.The default values are not displayed. The only way I see it assigning default values again in the constructor the field values.
To provide defaults via Visualforce, you need an "extension". In the extension's constructor, you would provide the default value to use.
Ex,
<apex:page standardController="Task" extensions="TaskExtension">
<!-- your code here -->
</apex:page>
public class TaskExtension {
public TaskExtension(ApexPages.StandardController controller) {
Task t = (Task)controller.getRecord();
t.Subject = 'Default Subject';
}
public static void testMethod test() {
Task t = new Task();
ApexPages.StandardController controller = new ApexPages.StandardController(t);
TaskExtension extension = new TaskExtension(controller);
System.assertEquals(t.Subject,'Default Subject');
}
}
Normally, it's a ton more efficient to just name a default value on the actual field (setup > customize/create > object > fields) rather than go through this dance, but it's a good starting point.
