I want to set values at the time of opening of screen. for example, I want to set current user name to entry user column in a screen.
Or I want to set Branch Name based on the login user in a sales screen at the time of opening time. It is to track from which branch the sales is entered. What is the solution ?

You can override the following methods in your screen controller:

  • init() is called by the framework after creating components tree described by an XML-descriptor, but before a screen is displayed.
  • ready() is invoked when the screen is fully initialized and opened.
  • postInit() is invoked for an editor screen immediately after the edited entity instance is set to the main datasource.
    See subsections of the Screen Controller section for details.
