For an array of JSON type script attributes, allow to set default values

[yaustar]

Given:

Test.attributes.add('testObjects', {
    type: 'json',
    array: true,  
    schema: [{
        name: 'foo',
        type: 'entity'
    }, {
        name: 'bar',
        type: 'string',
    } ],
    default: [{foo: null, bar: ""}]
});

It would be great if we can autofill the default values of a script type with these types rather than just have an array of 0

You set the default property for each element in the schema not on the surrounding object as you have done. For your example, you would set it as

Test.attributes.add('testObjects', {
    type: 'json',
    array: true,  
    schema: [{
        name: 'foo',
        type: 'entity',
        default: null,
    }, {
        name: 'bar',
        type: 'string',
        default: '',
    } ],
});

@kpal81xd Ah yeah, makes sense.

@yaustar I'm going to close this since it appears you specified the JSON attribute incorrectly. However, if you believe there's still a problem here, please let me know.

I guess there is still no way to specify default value for a whole JSON array? I guess this applies for any array-like attribute.

[yaustar]

The idea (which wasn't communicated well in hindsight) is to be able to set a default array of values so when first added, it could look like this

kpal81xd's example sets the default values for each new added array element

Ahh yes, I understand now. Doing some testing using the main branch and local engine flag in the editor indicates that it's working as outlined above.
