Set default values for fields inside multifield in AE...

[nikhil1986]

I want to set default values for fields inside coral ui multifield. I tried to use cq:template but not sure of how to set values for fields inside aem multifieds. Can anyone help me out with this?

Hi, Use "value" property for the fields to set the default values for the dialog fields.

Hi @nikhil1986 

Adding the property "value" to your dialogue input fields would be your solution. 
Take a look at the example below:

<navigationLinks
   jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
   sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/multifield"
   fieldLabel="Navigation Links">
   <field
      jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
      sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/container"
      name="./navLinks">
      <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
         <fieldset
            jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
            jcr:title="Link"
            sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/fieldset">
            <items jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured">
               <linkLabel
                  jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/textfield"
                  fieldLabel="Link Label"
                  name="./linkLabel"
                  value="@@@@@@@INiTIAL VALUE GOES HERE@@@@@@@@"/>
            </items>
         </fieldset>
      </items>
   </field>
</navigationLinks>

I hope this helps!
