Thanks Sapp,

I had visited the page before also but I am not able to figure that how we will define dataitem in this javascript.

dint get exactly what you trying to achieve...default selection is a value which is present in the data item, for e.g. if you have a data item of year, you can add one of its value e.g. 2014 as its default value.

Hi Raghuvir,

Yes data item contains value. I want  to use that value in my default selection based on certain condition.
Currently, when we use date prompt it uses sysdate as default value but I want to use some columns value as its default selection i.e. I dont want to hardcode the default selection. I want it to be dynamic. I know that can be done through javascript but I am stuck on this.

Thanks
