Base Default Form Values On Active View

You can use a default-value formula on a field to determine the value based on
the active view. Using this technique, several views can contain the same
simple action to compose a document, and the fields of the document will
automtically be set according to which view the action was selected on.
View Action:

@Command([Compose];"Formname")

Field Default Value Formula:

@If(
@ViewTitle = "View 1";"View 1 Value";
@ViewTitle = "View 2";"View 2 Value";
"View Z Value"
)
