Support multiple default values in case of relationships or repeatables #7186

Problem to Solve

https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-populate-a-relationship-field-as-a-list-with-more-than-one-avlue/

We currently only allow a single default value.

Proposed Solution

  1. Maybe we could make the default value a repeatable field?
  2. Another option is to explode the default value by predefined separator in case it's a multi-value field
  3. Or we could allow JSON input?

Possible Workaround

Currently you can only use PHP filters I suppose.

I like the second option as it seems easy to type in (better than JSON) from the admin back-end.

I like the idea of turning the default value into a repeatable text field if it's a multi relationship/file field. Great idea!

I think this lends itself to an upgraded user experience for default values. They should really ultimately be the same kind of field type for input.
