Default Value Property for Editor Palette Components

[TinCodes]

Description Some components can have default values if no value is given or if the value is detected to be null. This value can be inputted by the person creating the form and when it is previewed this value will appear in the corresponding component. Components that need this property:

• Text
• TextArea
• DateTime
• Dropdown
• CheckboxGroup
• RadioGroup
• Suggest
• DatePicker

From the PM3 wiki:

• The default value in a field of a DynaForm is set as the value retrieved from the field (when it is rendered) if it doesn’t contain any previous value.
• The default value is set as the value retrieved from the field only if its value is null (not the value set by the user even if that value is an empty string).
• The default value overrides the "SQL" and "Options" properties. This is the order in which the values are saved (shown by priority):
  • First SQL value //minor priority
  • First Option value
  • Default Value //max priority
• If the default value is defined, it overrides the options or SQL values. If the default value is not set, the first value in the Options property overrides the value set by SQL.

Text and TextArea components now have this property working correctly.
