Universe object set to constant value

In a message dated 99-03-24 12:38:40 EST, you write:

I’d like to be able to create an object in the Universe that is set to a
fixed value, or to something like sysdate. When I go into the Object
definition to create the object, I have to select a field from one of the
tables in the universe (in the Select window). Is there any way for me to
bypass this and set the object to a default value?

Sure, just enter (by typing) the constant value that you want. Or enter
sysdate, as you suggested. Your object won’t parse, and it won’t be valid to
use on a query by itself, but it will work in combination with other objects
from the universe.
