# PATCH /api/database/views/{view_id}/default-values/

`PATCH /api/database/views/{view_id}/default-values/`

Updates the default row values for the specified view. Accepts a list of default value objects, each specifying the field, whether the default is enabled, an optional raw value, and an optional function name (e.g. 'now') for dynamic defaults.

## Path parameters

- `view_id` integer, required

## Headers

- `ClientSessionId` string, uuid

## Request body

- ViewDefaultValue[]
  - `id` integer, required
  - `field` integer, required
  - `enabled` boolean — Whether this default value is active.
  - `value` unknown
  - `field_type` string, nullable, required — The field type identifier at the time the value was stored. Used to detect incompatibility when the field type changes.
