PageTypeBuilder - defaultValue not being set on property

Hello everybody,

I have a CMS 6 project and working on, and I'm using PTB 2.0.

My problem is that I have a boolean property which I want to set a default value of "true" for all the pages. IT will render as a checkbox. But for some reason, this is not working, the checkbox is added but it's unmarked. My property declaration looks like this:

[PageTypeProperty(Type = typeof(PropertyBoolean), Searchable = false, UniqueValuePerLanguage = true, SortOrder = 1500, DefaultValue = true)]
public virtual bool ShowInSiteMap { get; set; }

What am I doing wrong?

Have you read this article? http://world.episerver.com/Blogs/Lee-Crowe/Dates/2012/4/PageTypeBuilder-and-EPiServer-CMS-6-R2-Synching-Issues--Important/

it should clear up the default value issue.

I think you are missing DefaultValueType=EPiServer.DataAbstraction.DefaultValueType.Value

DefaultValueType is an enum with the following values Inhertit, None and Value.

[PageTypeProperty(Type = typeof(PropertyBoolean),
Searchable = false,
UniqueValuePerLanguage = true,
SortOrder = 1500,
DefaultValue = true,
DefaultValueType=EPiServer.DataAbstraction.DefaultValueType.Value)]
public virtual bool ShowInSiteMap { get; set; }
