createDefaultValueFromFormula

public static DefaultValue createDefaultValueFromFormula(java.lang.String value,
                                                         java.lang.String description,

Creates and returns a default value by parsing the given value string as a CC formula. Checks to make sure the formula's value type is the same as the value type given.

Parameters:

value - value as formula syntax

description - description of the default value, can be null

valueType - value type of the default value to be created.
