DefaultValue in the user interface dialog - AEM / CQ

Question

For the classic user interface, there is an installation option defaultValuefor fields; this is displayed to the user when the user first opens a dialog box after dragging and dropping a component. If the user clears the value in the dialog box and saves, when editing the dialog box, the field value is no longer displayed.

An equivalent could not be found in the touch interface dialog box defaultValue. The following options are possible.

• emptyText“But it's a kind of placeholder text.” If the user wants to save the form without entering a value, this is not useful.
• value- shows the value when opening the first time component for authoring. But if the user clears the value and saves it. The value is removed from the JCR structure. But if the user opens a dialog box for editing, the value is again displayed in the field, whereas it should be empty.

If there is an equivalent to a dialogue defaultValuewith a touch interface or any other way of processing it (there may be listeners or something else)

Answer 1

Instead of using defaultValueor value, I feel like you should use cq:templatenode. You can achieve this by adding nt:unstructureda node type with a name cq:templateunder the component. Like this:

_cq_template / .content.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0"
    xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0"
    xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0"
    jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
    sampleProperty="Default value of sampe property">
