since this does not work:

                  groupmail:
                    label:
                      de: Kontakt
                      en: Contact
                    type: email
                    default: {{ site.email }}

any idea how to insert site mail-adress as default?

thx in advance

The default option doesn’t accept query strings, so this is not possible. If you need it, you could create a custom field that basically creates a copy of the original and only change the way the default behaves.

I think this is already supported on the development branch though and should then be in the next release, maybe check it out.

Is there any news on this? I’m using version 3.5.6 and it doesn’t seem to work. Would be a great feature!
