How to set default value to true in Checkbox - Page properties

Hello,

How do we set a default value for the "granite/ui/components/foundation/form/checkbox" in page properties? I've set the value as true but when I open a dialog first time its always un-selected.

Tried using cq:template to set the value but that also didn't set the default value.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

    I found this solution Touch UI Checkbox selected by default – AEM Concepts | AEM Tutorial | AEMaaCS.

     

    You have to use the defaultChecked attribute. Tried many other solutions but this is the only one that worked. If you're not seeing the change, re-create the page or use a component to test with.

     

    <showPhotos
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/checkbox"
    text="Open link in new tab"
    name="./newTab"
    value="true"
    defaultChecked="{Boolean}true"
    uncheckedValue="{Boolean}false"
    checked="{Boolean}true"/>
