[7.9]  Are there $variables that can be used in field default values, that do not require code customization?

Hi Kyle Smith 

You can, partially, setup it through Studio, by adding the formula bellow:

concat("Call with ",related($contacts,"first_name"))

Any field defined as calculated by Studio become readonly, so you need to edit the extended vardefs of such field in order to make it editable.

As soon as you configure this formula and commit the change, edit the file custom/Extension/modules/Calls/Ext/Vardefs/sugarfield_name.php and replace the line

$dictionary['Call']['fields']['name']['enforced']=true;

to

$dictionary['Call']['fields']['name']['enforced']=false;

Save the file and run Quick Repair and Rebuild.

Sadly, we're on OnDemand at the moment so I can't edit the sugarfield_name.php file.  We're not quite ready to start doing customization on the .php files just yet.  

Thank you again for your input!  

You can create an installer containing the changes. Follow this article to understand how to build an installer. You also can export customization from Studio the way you will get a compiled installer.

After updating your installer you can install it on SugarOndemand through Module Loader.
