SelectionFactory set Initial/Default value and display it's placeholder in select/dropdown box
Hi,
You can set the default value.
public override void SetDefaultValues(ContentType contentType)
{
base.SetDefaultValues(contentType);
//Set values here
}

Ok, now this worked (even without setting "metadata.InitialValue = "1";" in "CustomSelectionFactory.cs", the issue was probably because "DocumentLanguage" property was of type "int?". Thank you!
@Ravindra S. Rathore,
I think I have tried it and it partly works - on publish it passes further the default value, but the placeholder of selectbox is still empty

Hi all,
I found this topic here - https://world.episerver.com/forum/developer-forum/-Episerver-75-CMS/Thread-Container/2014/9/Setting-a-ISelectItem-as-selected/ - but none of the solutions solves my problem.
I have this property on a page, which uses custom Selection Factory.
And I want to set initial value and display it's placeholder (in admin view, under "All properties" view while creating new page) here in a select box. I do it like this:
// CustomSelectionFactory.cs: public IEnumerable<ISelectItem> GetSelections(ExtendedMetadata metadata) { List<SelectItem> result = new List<SelectItem>() { new SelectItem() { Text = "All", Value = null } }; List<CustomSelectItem> customSelectItems = new List<CustomSelectItem>(); switch (metadata.PropertyName) { case "DocumentCountry": customSelectItems = Api.GetCustomSelectItems(1).Result; break; case "DocumentLanguage": customSelectItems = Api.GetCustomSelectItems(2).Result; result.RemoveAll(x => x.Text == "All"); metadata.InitialValue = "1"; break; } foreach (CustomSelectItems customSelectItem in customSelectItems) { result.Add(new SelectItem() { Text = customSelectItem .Name, Value = customSelectItem .Id.ToString() }); } return result; }// CustomPage.cs [Display(Name = "Document Country")] [SelectOne(SelectionFactoryType = typeof(CustomSelectionFactory))] public virtual string DocumentCountry { get; set; } [Display(Name = "Document Language")] [SelectOne(SelectionFactoryType = typeof(CustomSelectionFactory))] public virtual string DocumentLanguage { get; set; }Help appreciated!
