Auto populate

Indicates whether to automatically populate the attribute if a single match against the valid set is found.

For example, if the option is set and a valid set like this exists:

  • Name, Address

  • Fred, 2 Fore Street

  • Fred, 1 New Road

  • Jim, 10 North Road

Then the attribute for Jim would be auto-populated, since only one matching address is defined in the valid set. Entering Jim in the Name field will cause the Address field to be auto-populated with 10 North Road.

  • Optional.

  • Only applicable to multi-column valid sets.
