MAM 7.6.1.2:

I'm trying to make the default programming language for the AUTOSCRIPT application to be python instead of Nashorn.
(How to set the default value of a field in Maximo)


1. I've tried setting the default via Application Designer:


But that doesn't seem to work. When I create a new script in Automation Scripts, the default is still Nashorn. Even after logging out and in again.



2. And the default value in Database Configuration was already set to jython -- which would be acceptable. But unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work either.




3. And I checked the APPFIELDDEFAULTS table, but it's empty. So I don't think that's the culprit.

Question:

How can I set the default automation script language to be python? It seems to be stuck on Nashorn.

I think you'll have to write a script named AUTOSCRIPT.NEW to override the value. It looks like it defaults to the first script language in the list in the add method of AUTOSCRIPT and I don't think that list is reliably retrieved which is why sometimes it might default to something else. A database default is applied prior to the logic in the .add method which is why that would override it. I'm not as confident on the UI default but I assume that's true there as well. 

I don't decide what's a bug, but I would open a case on this. I feel it should only set that value in the add method when something isn't already provided.
