    Component field default value

    You can set a default value on your component form element, this is optional.

    The default value will be used when the Component is placed onto the Layout canvas. Once placed, the value becomes part of the content. If you change the default value in your Component configuration, the change will not propagate to Components that have been placed. This is by design.

    Add a default value

    To add a default value: 

    1. Navigate to a component 
    2. Double click on a form field element on the Component form builder
    3. Within the Default section enter a default value.
