Feature request: Attribute default value

Permalink
I don't know where to post this, so I'll just put it here.
It would be great if attributes could have a value.
A date for example, can be preset, or dynamically assigned today's date.
A check box can by default be checked.
An option from a list can be selected by default.. etc.
This would be great.

Hi Okhayat

I am using the ecommerce module and seeing the same issue you mention. I'm looking at ways within the system's design that could accommodate default settings for attributes. If it does not exist I would like to write it as a free module as soon as possible.

Hum, do you speak generally like any attributes?

Actually, if you go into the Page Attributes definition for instance, attributes can have default values …

kind of, you can go to the page type defaults and set a default value there.

But if it's supposed to be something dynamic like the current date, it would have to be an option in the attribute type form. Not sure if a more generic way would be easy to build, seems to be something specific for each attribute type.
