Author Topic: Setting default participant role? (Read 1279 times)

Greetings:

I just re-installed Civicrm with fresh databases and tables and am in the process of re-creating my event. I seem to recall, in the custom profile I had before, being able to specify the default value for "participant role." But now, I can't see where or how to do that. In the editing screen for that profile field (which is "participant role" from the "participants" category), there's no place to set the default value, as there is in the custom data configuration.

Am I missing something?

Thanks!

I don't think there's a way to do this currently via admin settings. The profile field doesn't respect the default Role set at the Event level - which is used when the field is not exposed to the "public". You could create a custom copy of the template and add some javascript to set that option value for that field if it's not set.

Update: I think this is something we should fix - I've filed an issue for 2.2 you can follow here:
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-4122

(might be an easy 1-2 liner to backport if you need it once it's finished)

Thanks, Dave. If this gets done, I'm definitely up for editing whatever PHP needs to be edited to make this work.

Fix has been committed for 2.2.

The diff is here - probably will work in 2.1 (of course test in a non-production environment first):
