How to set default value in a Touch UI select element?

I am trying to set the defaultValue in a Touch UI select dropdown. Setting "defaultValue" in dialog.xml works in Classic mode, but not in Touch. Here is the relevant snippet from my component's .content.xml <alignment jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/select" fieldLabel="Alignment" name="./alignment" value="option2" defaultValue="option2"> <items jcr:primaryType="cq:WidgetCollection"> <topLeft jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" text="Option 1" value="option1"/> <topCenter jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" text="Option 2" value="option2"/> <topRight jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" text="Option3" value="option3"/> </items> </alignment>

    It seems that this is a bug with the granite select component (granite/ui/components/foundation/form/select).

    Hi,

    in order to make it work isn't enough to add 

    selected="{Boolean}true" 
    in the option you want as default, you have also to set

    forceIgnoreFreshness="{Boolean}true"

    in the select node itself.

        Hi Loki,

        selected boolean true doesnt work to set a property as a default . Can you please guide on a solution to this.

        I was never able to find a solution. selected="{Boolean}true" hasn't worked for me.

        I am making the change directly in the component's .content.xml, but selected="{Boolean}true" hasn't worked either. It seems to always default to the first option.

         


        Did you get a solution for this ? selected = true (as a boolean property) doesnt work. If you have some other solution plz share.

          if you are changing directly in the xml, it should be like

          selected="{Boolean}true"

          Have you added it as a String or boolean ?
