2416892 - How to Default Matrix Relationship Type When Creating a New Position - Employee Central

The goal is to have Matrix Relationships automatically added to a new Position in order to:

• Ensure that the Matrix Relationships are not missed during Position creation;
• When one of the Types having the "Related Position" pre-filled with a specific Position.

OnInit rules are not supported to default Matrix Position types. 

The current workaround involves creating the rule differently and assigning it as an onChange rule to a required field, preferably one that is used during Position creation or updates. The rule can be configured to:

• Add one or more Matrix Position rows when creating or maintaining a Position.

• Re-add a Matrix Relationship row if one is deleted, triggered by the onChange event.

Additionally, an onSave rule may be created to validate that all required Matrix Positions are present, preventing the Position from being saved if any Matrix Relationship Type is missing.

Example Rule for onChange scenario:
