Description of the issue

Employee link field of the form is picking employee id from employee filter in the list view.

This issue can be best described by steps:

Step1: Login (here say the logged in employee is HR-EMP-00002)

Step2: Apply an employee filter in the list view of any of the modules like leave application, expense claim etc.

Here the filter applied is for HR-EMP-00001

Step 3: Click on 'Add Leave Application'

Step 4: See that employee field below is filled with details of HR-EMP-00001 from filters but not based on the logged in employee. (i.e HR-EMP-00002 is logged in)

@nikhilponnuru This is the expected behaviour in the frappe framework. If you filter on a link field in List view and then try to create a new record, the system set the default value of the link field based on the filter value. Here, the system expects that you are processing data for the employee which has been set in the filter.

Closing this.
