Hi all,

I'm trying to set a default on the posted payment form for a particular Payment Method.
Normally I can use the GUID which is found against the option in a code table under the Admin/Code Tables area.

But looking at the form, that field is using a ‘Value List’ instead of a code table - are these available to find in the CRM and if so, how can I find the GUID for a particular Payment Method option?

    @Liz Hackett CodeTables and ValueLists help provide similar functionality. They are very different implementations. A code table is readily extensible through UI and provides guid:description pairs. Value lists, typically, are implemented (hard-coded) as enumField in table definitions via the SDK. Forms present these enums as value lists in tinyInt:description (value:label) pairs. You have already found where you need to focus. The form wants a tinyInt; you can see what they are, as you have stated; and, you'll be happier if that's what you try to provide. Guids are just muddying the water here. – Best luck with the form.

    @Liz Hackett If you check the XML on the form, it should list out each payment method and the corresponding value. That value can then be used in the expression in place of the GUID when setting defaults.
