async await for default value

aazwar

I've tried async await for default value, but it doesn't work

    { label: 'Number',  name: 'number',
      async def() {
        let resp = await fetch('{{@BASE}}/ajax/reference/new-id?type=' + type);
        return resp;
      }  
    },

The corresponding input in the editor contains '[object Promise]'

Hi,

The field.def option does not accept a promise in return. What you would need to do is use initCreate to trigger your Ajax request and then write to field().val() to set the field when it is complete.
