If the view shows a list of Dependents that need a default value set to 'Not Applicable', how should the pySetFieldDefaults data transform be configured?

Setting the pySetFieldDefaults data transform to configure default values for fields requires an understanding of how to properly reference list items and their properties in Pega. In this case, to set the default value to 'Not Applicable' specifically for the Relationship property of the first item in the Dependents list, it is essential to reference that item correctly.

By choosing to adjust .Dependents(1).Relationship to 'Not Applicable', you are effectively targeting the specific relationship property of the first dependent in the list. This approach ensures that only the intended field is modified, leaving other fields in the list unaffected unless additional configurations are made.

It’s crucial to note that when handling lists in Pega, you must specify which item in the list you are addressing. If you were to set .Dependents to 'Not Applicable', this would imply applying that value to the entire list instead of just the Relationship property of the first item. Similarly, setting the Relationship to None does not fulfill the requirement to set it to 'Not Applicable', as these two values may convey different meanings in a business context. Adding a default value for all properties would be too broad and not aligned with the specific requirement to set a certain property to a specific value for a particular item.
