Hi

I have the following textfield:
<vocLevel

        jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget"        value="{String}N/A"        defaultValue="{String}N/A"        fieldLabel="VOC Level"        name="./vocLevel"        xtype="textfield"        />

If field's value is removed by conent author, how to populated it with 'N/A' value after content author submits dialog?

Thank you in advance.

    You can use a listeners "loadcontent", which will execute when dialog is open. In that listener you can write js code to check if value is "" (empty) , the set the value to "N/A".

    Code will be similar to 

    function(dialog){ x= dialog.findParentByType('dialog').getField('./vocLevel'); if(x.getValue()=="") x.setValue("N/A"); }
