Default value for custom field and effectiveness of Field should not be Empty validator

[Haran Kumar]

Hi , 

I have a custom field with default value  as " To be Filled with appropriate description" . When this field is used in the issue , Does the field value be taken as empty field ( since its a default value)  or is it considered as not an empty field. Because, I need to use  " Field shouldn't be empty"  validator in the workflow for this field. 

As custom fields don't get visible without a  value in the issue screen, I have to  enter some content in the custom field as default values. 

And when, I change the field value will it get updated with the new value or still the default value be retained ? 

Any help over this is highly appreciable .

Hello,

It should not be treated as an empty field. If you change the field with a value, the default value will be replaced to the changed value.

@Alexey Matveev  Thank you  and will the validator work on this case ?

if your field has a default value, then it will not be empty and validator will not see it as empty.
