Automate Data Defaults & Validations 🛡
When working with extension files in IDF, you're often capturing custom fields and business-specific data. But without proper defaults and validations, you risk introducing bad data into critical processes.

Here’s how to bring automation and control into your extension file logic:

📌 Set Default Values – Populate extension fields automatically based on context.
Example: If you're adding a custom inspection  Read more...status to a new item, default it to Pending when the item is created.

📌 Enforce Validations – Ensure only valid values are saved.
Example: If your extension includes a priority code, restrict it to valid levels like 1–5, and reject any out-of-range values.

📌 Use Conditional Edits – Drive logic based on related base object values.
Example: If an Item is flagged as Prototype, prevent users from selecting a standard cost type in the extension file.

✅ These smart rules ensure that custom fields behave just like standard ones—reliable, consistent, and audit-friendly.

💡 Pro Tip: Combine extension file logic with logical attributes and actions to drive even deeper automation—like flagging incomplete records or prompting user alerts during key transactions.

Extension files give you flexibility—defaults and validations make sure you use that power responsibly.
