Generic property list - default value and required?
Hi,
Two great questions:
- There is no easy way to do this, however, there is a blog post that'll take you through it: https://beendaved.blogspot.com/2018/10/defaultvalue-in-propertylist.html
- Yes, it supports
Required
I should add, as per the Episerver documentation: "Episerver recommends using ContentArea and Blocks for lists of complex objects." With the continued improvements to EPiServer.Labs.BlockEnhancements you might consider using that instead (it allows inline block editing and smart publishing, see this blog post and this one as well).

Hi Jake,
And thanks for the answer!
However, I still think EPiServer should support default values for property lists out of the box. At least when none of the properties are complex types.
And as for blocks...they're great but BlockEnhancements is also still in Labs and should be used "as is". Think they should focus on getting things 100% done and ready.
