XForms property default value

Hello, I have a page template with an XForms property on. I want a specific XForm to be a default value for all pages created from this page type. What is the Default value text box expecting? A string or an integer renders nothing when creating the page other than a server error "Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes when trying to open the XForm attach dialog. Does anyone know this? Regards /Mårten Berg

I found out the answer myself and posting it here if anyone needs it sometime. It is indeed expecting a GUID. The only way I found to retrieve this value was by creating a page with the XForm property on, naming it something, and inserting the XForm I want to default into its property. Then, I open the Query Analyzer in SQL Server and run this query:


SELECT 	pr.String AS GUID
FROM 	tblProperty pr, tblPageDefinition pd, tblPage pa
WHERE  	pr.fkPageDefinitionID = pd.pkID
AND	pr.fkPageID = pa.pkID
AND	pa.Name LIKE '%(The page name here)%'
AND	pd.Name = '(Name of the XForm property here)'

Take this value and insert into the default value text box on your page type in admin mode. Dirty, yes. But I found no better way of doing this. Regards, /Marten
