Environment
Novell ZENworks 7 Asset Management - ZAM7
Novell ZENworks 7.5 Asset Management - ZAM7.5
Situation
A User Defined Field (UDF) is created in the manager, and the
Default Value is set to grab a registry key value. Then in
the Options Set | Collection Editor tab the Autofill value for this
UDF is set to "Always" If this is set it will not change the
value. It will only change the value if the Autofill is set
to "When Empty" and the field is currently empty.
Resolution
This is working as designed. To get the registry key to
always update the value of the UDF when the Autofill option is set
to "Always" the Default Value field in the Collection Editor has to
have the registry key value set. It cannot just be set in the
UDF when it is first created.
