Predefine and prepopulate fields within blocks and layouts

[invasoria]

Hi!

I’m using layouts and blocks to create a very custom type of page builder. Now, I have a couple of page designs that can be achieved by combining certain layouts + blocks with their own settings (nested fields). So, my question is; is there a way to predefine layouts (with settings/fields prepopulated) and blocks within those layouts? Also to prepopulate multiple layouts in succession?

I am able to do that with blocks but just blocks like this:

But I’m not sure if I can leave multiple layouts predefined, kinda like this:

And with their settings prepopulated, this is an example of default layout without predefinition:

Thanks!

Hello, did you ever find a solution for this? To create a team page, I want to use the layout field type, but have it populate a single layout (without the user having to choose), and have that layout populate with an image, a heading, and a text block. Is this possible?

I don’t think you can do this with a default setting, but you could populate the field programmatically in a page.create:after hook.
