    Change "Enter a name" and default to a value

    Hi, I'm trying to change the default "Enter a name..." and default to some value in the backoffice, and changed Umbraco\Views\components\editor\umb-editor-header.html but no changes applied though, restarted IIS, cleared cache etc. etc. I can't see any other files where it needs to be changed. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks Pavel

    Hi Pavel

    When you need to change values like that it should not be necessary to change it at a file level - The change you made will be overriden when you upgrade Umbraco, Any changes you make like that to any files in the /Umbraco folder will be overriden when/if you do an upgrade at some point, which means you'll need to do the change again, which is probably not what you want :)

    That said you should be able to override the default label by adding a key to the /config/lang/en-us.user.xml file with your translation - Please read the documentation on how to do this here https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/extending/language-files/

    The file I'm refering is empty (Like it says in the documentation) but it's where you make your overrides. You'll need to find the key for "Enter a name" in the files located here Umbraco-CMS/src/Umbraco.Web.UI/Umbraco/Config/Lang/ and then copy/paste it into the empty file and change the value,

    After it'd done you probably need to recycle the application pool to see the change take effect.

    I hope this makes sense to you ;)

    Cheers, Jan
