How to set a default value for edit widget field dynamically

AlistairFox2

I have a web app builder project that has an editable layer in it. The project ID is being based to the web app through the URL. I can grab this in javascript and use it. What I'd like to do is set the default value for the projectid field that is written by the edit widget when a new record is created. 

any pointers on where in the edit widget code I can intercept where the values are written and returned to the feature service?

Alistar,

  You can do that by modifying the edit widget _worksAfterCreate function:
