Hi there,

Does anyone know if it's possible to set default values for a type being used within an IList property?

We've currently got something like the below: user selects a page reference, and a select option. We want to give that select a default value, but can't workout how to do it (if you can). Thought the usual SetDefaultValues would do the trick, but unfortuntely not.

public class IssuesBlock : BaseBlock
{
    public virtual string? Heading { get; set; }
    public virtual IList<IssueCard>? Issues { get; set; }
}

public class IssueCard : BlockData
{
    [SelectOne(SelectionFactoryType = typeof(BackgroundThemeSelectionFactory))]
    public virtual string? BackgroundTheme { get; set; }

    public virtual PageReference? Page { get; set; }
    public override void SetDefaultValues(ContentType contentType)
    {
        base.SetDefaultValues(contentType);
        BackgroundTheme = "blue";
    }
}

I'm aware we can probably just use a ContentArea to get around this, but would be nicer from an editors POV to utilize the IList property. 

So if anyone has any ideas/solutions, let me know :)

Thank you,
Neal
