Getting Default Checked Checkbox in CQ5

Question

I am trying to have a default checked checkbox on a component dialog when editing. Here are the properties on the field:

jcr:primaryType: widget
checked: tr         


        

Answer 1

Yes, it looks like the documentation is a little wonky. I did some experimenting, and this combination of properties works for me:

defaultValue (String) true
fieldLabel (String) Foo Mode
inputValue (String) false
jcr:primaryType (Name) cq:Widget
name (String) ./foomode
type (String) checkbox
xtype (String) selection

The defaultValue property appears to be the key.

You do have cq:Widget for your primary type, not widget, do you not?
