Hello,

In my page type, I have two fields Theme and Branding

I want to set value of Branding based on Theme on Content Creation.

I am trying to do this in SetDefaultValues method but it's not working

Any suggestions?

Hi Jayesh,

You can set the default value of the second property on the Page save/create/publish the event. Like below example

Thanks, Ravindra .it worked. However now i need to delete the Theme property from Edit UI, how can I achieve that?

You can hide it for Editors by using
[Ignore]
public int HiddenPrimaryKey { get; set; }

[Display(Name="Readonly Property")]
[Editable(false)]
public virtual string ReadonlyProperty {get;set; }

Hey @Jayesh

Here is a commonly referenced blog that demonstrates dependent drop-down lists.
https://world.episerver.com/blogs/Duong-Nguyen/Dates/2014/1/Country-Region-drop-down-lists-in-All-properties-mode/

Its important to note that newer versions of Episerver have changed things a bit, so please make sure you read the newer Comments in that Blog post, and refer to this Forum post.

Hope this helps.
