AEM 6.5 - Setting Default Tags

Note: I'm a front-end developer and not a java developer. If this needs to be handled in the backend, please let me know.

I'm working on a project that allows filterable tags. There are some tags I'd like to have populated by default, without the content creator having to find and select them. Is there a way to do that in the .context.xml dialog? Attached is my current code and what it looks like in the dialog box.

 

Use case: I have 2 tags selected. Is there a way to have them populated by default without having to click the checkbox and find them?

    Yes, you can use cq:template node in the below component to populate default values.

     

    cq:template has the type nt:unstructured, it allows you to define a complex node with a set of properties and children.

    It's a node you create as a child of your component definition. This content will be used as default values whenever you drop a new instance of the component from the sidekick.

      Thanks for the answer. I tried this and I added to the cq:template the name of the tags filter I'm using which you can see above I have as cq:tags (but for fun, i also tried just 'tags') and added the path of a tag as a string and I'm not seeing it populate as a default chosen tag. I made a new tag just called "test" under a global folder. The path should be "/content/cq:tags/global/" - could you by chance provide an example of the code?

        Hi @jsolano918 ,

         

        Yes, I have tested it with we-retail tags and default title component by adding one more field of "tag".

        I could not attach the package here but find the below screenshot.
