    Set default value Document type Property

    Hi,

    Is it possible to set a default value to a property of a document type?

    For example: I have the property to hide an item from the menu in the website (it's a checkbox). Is it possible to set the default value to checked?

    Kind regards, Robert

    Hi Robert,

    you can use the ContentService-Events to do this: 

    https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Reference/Events-v6/ContentService-Events

    If you will set this property only if the item is brand new, then use the Saving event and the HasIdentity property.

     

    Cheers,

    Sören

    Hi Robert

    Another approach could be to take a look at my package https://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/switcher where you can choose to set the default / initial value to true (checked/active).
