Description Marc Véron 2015-10-02 08:06:44 UTC 
If you add 'user', 'YYYY, 'MM' and 'DD' as the default value for a subfield in the
bibliographic frameworks, the field will be automatically filled with
the data as appropriate.

However, there is no information about this feature (hint in form, help page, manual).

Related Bugs:

- Bug 10294 - when the word "user" is included in default in framework, surname of login creating record inserted
- Bug 7045 - Default-value substitution inconsistent
Comment 1 Marc Véron 2016-02-19 16:22:35 UTC 
Changed to 'Documentation'
Comment 2 Nicole C. Engard 2016-05-12 15:44:55 UTC 
I had this documented and removed it because it didn't seem to work can you confirm that it works now - I know that 'user' didn't work last time I tried it.

Comment 4 Marie-Luce Laflamme 2020-07-24 20:19:11 UTC 
As anyone try it this since it was fixed? The 20.05 manual doesn't mention this. Should we add it to the manual?
