HI @keerthana_h_n 

 

You want to add/show the default value when the value is not authored in dialog for a field?

You can use below approach:

 

${properties.pageTitle || properties.jcr:title}

So if the pageTitle is not authored it will pick the jcr:title as the default value.

 

Thanks!

    Hi @keerthana_h_n 

     

    You can read the description from metatag using the below command:

    $('meta[name=description]').attr('content');

    Now this value can be assigned the the respective field using the required selector (ensure correct name or id attribute is used to update the respective field).

     

    Thanks!
