How to put a default value for a prompt

I have a prompt like this:

@prompt(‘1. Enter The Report Type :’, ‘A’, {‘D’,‘M’,‘S’}, mono, constrained)

I want ‘D’ to be my dafault value for the prompt. How can this be done?

Please, try a Search on BOB, suggested keywords: default prompt

or start with this thread or this one.

Another possible solution might be VB macros (SDK).

until you purge DP, BO save the last value entered in prompt, so, you can refresh the report entering the default values you want and publish it in the repository so users downloading the report and running it will show the defaults values you first entered
