Problem with structure default values in Blueprint

The CMS Questions

Hi

I’ve copied the example from the docs for default values in a Structure Field but it doesn’t seem to be working? Should it not pre populate a structure field on page creation or am i misunderstanding something? Thanks for any help.

Could you please post your code?

Thanks for getting back to me.

Tests blueprint

title: Tests
preview: false
pages:
  template: test
files: false
fields:
  title:
    label: Title
    type:  text

Test blueprint

title: Test
fields:
  title:
    label: Title
    type: title
  emails:
    label: Emails
    type: structure
    default:
      - email: bastian@getkirby.com
      - email: sascha@getkirby.com
      - email: nico@getkirby.com
    fields:
      email:
        label: Email
        type: email

So when a test (page) is created the structure is not pre populated. If i then change the “emails” field name in the blueprint and reopen the created test page the structure is pre populated?

Yes, that sounds like an issue. I tested this on the starter kit and when I added the structure field to the blueprint, three default entries were created for all existing (project) pages but none when I create a new page.

@all Maybe someone can confirm this behavior, before we create an issue on Github or what is the expected result?
