Auto fill field value on quick entry

I made it work using get_route_options_for_new_doc.

If the field is inside a child table grid, you must specify both the table field name and the field name inside the grid in get_docfield.

Just place the script inside the parent doctype’s client script.

Please replace “Doctype Name”, “table_field_name”, “grid_field_name”, “quick_entry_field_name”, and “test_value” with your actual field names and values.

frappe.ui.form.on("Doctype Name", {
    refresh: function(frm) {

let batch_field = frm.get_docfield("table_field_name", "grid_field_name");
        batch_field.get_route_options_for_new_doc = function (row) {
            if (frm.is_new()) return;
            return {
                "quick_entry_field_name": "test_value",
            };
        }

If the field is not in a child table (i.e., a top-level field), you only need to pass the field name directly to get_docfield.

frappe.ui.form.on("Doctype Name", {
    refresh: function(frm) {

let batch_field = frm.get_docfield("field_name");
        batch_field.get_route_options_for_new_doc = function (row) {
            if (frm.is_new()) return;
            return {
                "quick_entry_field_name": "test_value",
            };
        }
