Is it possible to preload a field within a content item when you first create a new item? I'm wanting to have a bodyText field preloaded with some basic html markup. This way when the content editor first creates their new article, they can jump right into the preloaded HTML to add/customize their content. I'm wanting to do it this way so that the developers have more control rather than creating multiple fields that would represent the HTML markup.
Preload content field on "Create new content item" event.

Hi Robert,
Have a look at the Standard Values package - it allows you to set default content on any field on any document type. Should do just what you need.

Thanks Tom. I figured that was be my best option. I was trying to figure out a way to do it without a package but looks like it's the only way.
Yep - there's no built in way to do it. You could of course use the API but that's what the package does for you :)
