Hi @sirishap9577191 ,

Please try to use cq:template. The use case for this property can be if you want to provide the default
values of properties of a component, then it can help you out.

Example structure in CRXDE:

/apps/my-project/components/content/my-component
└── cq:template (nt:unstructured)
    └── fileReference (String) = /content/dam/my-project/default-image.jpg

Example dialog.xml:

<image
                                                jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
                                                sling:resourceType="cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/fileupload"
                                                allowUpload="{Boolean}false"
                                                autoStart="{Boolean}false"
                                                class="cq-droptarget"
                                                fieldDescription="Browse an Image"
                                                fieldLabel="Image"
                                                fileNameParameter="./fileName"                                             fileReferenceParameter="./fileReference"
                                                mimeTypes="[image]"
                                                multiple="{Boolean}false"
                                                name="./file"
                                                title="Upload Image Asset"
                                                uploadUrl="${suffix.path}"
                                                useHTML5="{Boolean}true"/>
