How to set in xml code cq_dialog a default model value to Touch UI select Model Path ?

[NathanVieira]

I want to restrict to author select only the Model that I want, like FAQ Model to this component, how can I do that? 

Here belows there's the ModelPath xml code 

<modelPath

   jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

   sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select"

   emptyText="Select"

   fieldDescription="Content Fragment Model from which to build the list."

   fieldLabel="Model"

   name="./modelPath">

 <datasource

     jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"

     sling:resourceType="core/wcm/components/contentfragmentlist/v2/datasource/models"/>

 </modelPath>

Hi @NathanVieira ,

set selected (Boolean) to true. In future, to find out such properties, refer the render.jsp of the respective resourceType. In this case, refer this file "/libs/granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select/render.jsp"

In xml, add this value, "selected="{Boolean}true" to the option item that you wanted to be defaulted to. 
Also, you must use override your data-source(option items), as you should not do these changes to the core component.

Thank you,

It's not a custom component but Content Fragment List core component, so the model path return

<datasource

 jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured 

 sling:resourceType="core/wcm/components/contentfragmentlist/v2/datasource/models/"/>

I can't use "selected="{Boolean}true" to the option item that I want to be default, cause I don't have that option in code.

Please overlay the component or have an alternate data-source and perform your logic.
