Populate fields with default values in SharePoint Online grid view

Question

Hi,

I have defined default values in my SharePoint list (presented in Teams with Microsoft lists tab). If I create a new entry using a form the default value is automatically populated. Though in grid view this is not working.

How can I achieve this?

Thanks for any advice
John

Answer 1

That is by design in SharePoint Online Grid View. In the Quick Edit Mode values won't be populated automatically. You might have to go with customization.

Hi @John Doe ,
Per my test, the default value will be automatically populated after you exit grid view and it will not be displayed when editing, please take a quick look at the screenshots below.
This is a by-design behavior for editing in grid view. We cannot customize it. If you have some thoughts about this feature, make a new post in UserVoice and make MS know your ideas.
