How to fill custom fields while autodiscovery?

Question

Hi!
Is there any way to fill custom fields of autodiscovered nodes?
I have a "City" field which must be filled, but every new node which was found by autodiscovery, has empty 'City'.

Yep I know, this is a simple issue to fix with API, but i'm asking about Orion web option.

You sure can. Create a new alert for the 'node' object type and trigger it on the 'node created' event. Here's a screen shot of one that I have:

Then on the Actions page of the alert wizard, click 'Add' to create a new action, and select the 'Change Custom Property' action type.

Set the default value that you want for the custom property, and you're on your way!

You could create an alert that has an action to set a custom property value. It’s a native action that can be assigned to alerts. The key is figuring out your criteria on how to set it.
