Return a Default Value if Field Failed to Parse

[CopperClover]

Is there a way to assign a default value to a specific field parser for an instance where a field fails to be be parsed? I am using a standardized template for a project and some of the fields don't exist on all of the invoices. I can obviously check this in the python code but was wondering if there was a way that I could get a defaulted value out from the templates?

At the moment I get WARNING:invoice2data.extract.invoice_template: Failed to parse field field with parser regex and the field basically doesn't exist in the returned dictionary which leads to errors down the line.

That's a pretty interesting Idea. I thought about something like that too, to have a standard-value, if the field can't be found.

For now, I'm doing that in the Code or with a static field if the field is mandatory.

To make a static field, you could look here:
