Hello, is there a way to calculate default values for certain fields based on the content of other fields?
I am implementing a dictionary. Admins are supposed to add words of certain languages and parts-of-speech. Some words of some part-of-speech and language are, on one hand, morphologically very regular, but, one the other hand, come with a huge number of morphological forms. This is true for German adjectives: They usually have 183 morphological forms (if form-meaning pairs are counted). On the other hand, there are very few irregular adjectives. The most user-friendly way for admins to code German adjectives would be this: The admin adds a new adjective and types in the adjective's base form: base form: |gut| Then he clicks some button or saves the adjective or, ideally, does nothing, and the program fills in the 183 fields below, using the base form and assuming that the adjective is regular: attributive positive strong masculine nominative singular: |guter| attributive positive strong masculine genitive singular: |guten| attributive positive strong masculine dative singular: |gutem| attributive positive strong masculine accusative singular: |guten| ... attributive comparative strong masculine nominative singular: | guterer| ... The admin now has the possibility to correct the wrong forms before saving the adjective. This way, in the vast majority of cases all the coding is done completely automatically. And for the very few irregular adjectives, the admin only has to modify those forms that have been guessed wrongly. Any ideas how to realize this?
