How do I set the default on an autocomplete field

if I do this

#
$defaults['custom_47_-1'] = $contact_id;
#
        $form->setDefaults($defaults);

Then the form loads with a number in the autocomplete field & doesn't resolve it

I seem to recall setting the default for a select widget to the exposed label text rather than the value associated with it. You may need to use the display_name rather than the contact_id. Just a guess.

Hi,

I add

Code: [Select]

        $defaults['custom_127_-1'] = civicrm_api('contact','getvalue',array('version' => 3,
       																				'id' => $pledge['custom_129'], 
        																				'return' => 'display_name'));

& the default shows as display name when I load the form but when I go to save:

Please correct the following errors in the form fields below:

* Select a valid contact for Worker Contact.

So I guess that's not it....

Try:

Quote

$defaults['custom_47_-1_id'] = $contact_id;
$defaults['custom_47_-1'] = $display_name;
$form->setDefaults($defaults);
