[ CS 6.5 SP3 ] Lifecycle and default attribute values

Hi all, we are facing problems at the moment we try to install a Lifecycle, this error appears when an attribute has a default value.

How can we bypass this lifecycle check?, our customer requirements are to set a default value for many attributes.

An unexpected error has occured during install InstallException.Check error details in recent error log located in 'C:\Temp\documentum\'Error during post install on docbase object 'cv_vp'(dm_policy 4603faca8002d6f3)
[ERROR] FAILED QUERY: ALTER TYPE vp_doc FOR POLICY '4603faca8002d6f3' STATE 'En Edicion' MODIFY "area"(SET DEFAULT = '00000', TRUNCATE allowed_search_ops, SET is_searchable = 1, SET default_search_op = NULL, SET default_search_arg = NULL, SET is_required = 0, SET is_hidden = 0, SET read_only = 1, SET ignore_immutable = 0, SET not_null = 0, SET ignore_constraints = NULL, SET life_cycle = NULL, DROP VALUE ASSISTANCE, DROP CHECK )

Any ideas will be highly appreciated.

Based on the error message

You cannot specify a DEFAULT value for

The content server may not allow you to do this as part of lifecycle state. You can definitely set default values on attributes as part of the object type - independent of lifecycle.

Hi Johnny, thanks for your soon answer!

In order to find a solution to this customer requirement, we were thinking do the following:

We will create a new object type (let's call vp_doc_father), this new object type will have the attributes which need to have a default value set. Besides, this object type will be use as primary type in our lifecycle. Then, our business type (vp_doc) will have all default attributes value needed.

We will try it and post results.

Let me know your thoughts.

Thanks!

Yes, that should work. You just cant associate default value as part of the lifecycle state, it needs to be associated on the object type itself.
