We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!
We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.
You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.
While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.
We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.
Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!
We need dynamic predefined values. We want to set values in input forms dynamically. For example the username or a date or something else. This predefined value is not for every user and case the same.
Is it possible with JS or something else?
Thanks a lot.
Hello Raphael
Thank you for your purchase.
If you're using server-side tables (manual, imported or SQL Query based tables), you can use placeholders as search and replace values.
The placeholders can be replaced through the query, or through shortcodes.
Kind Regards,
Aleksandar Vuković

Hi Aleksandar
Thanks for your reply. I use SQL Query based tables. I don't mean a placeholder in the query. I mean a default value in the input form: https://wpdatatables.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/front-end-overview-1-1024x489.png
For example we want to add different dates per user as default value in the field "Exam date".
Hello again Raphael
You can add %VAR1% as a predefined editing value for the columns.
Also, you can use any of the other placeholders there. For example - in the date column, you can use %CURRENT_DATETIME% placeholder, and the current datetime will be stored as the predefined editing value.
My advice would be to hide that column from the edit modal with custom CSS, and also remove the "Apply and add new" and "Prev" and "Next" buttons, since the predefined values will be deleted if someone clicks on those.
You can see how to do that here:
