Ticket: Default values in Bloq fields (input and select)

Status Resolved

Severity
EE Version 6.3.4

I have a Bloq with 2 fields as integer for Bootstrap column values. They are requested. If I select that Bloq it inserts the two fields with value “0”. And the Bloq can be saved that way. The result at the end are no Bootstrap columns on our page.
Expected behavior is empty fields, an error message if nothing is entered. Is this a wrong expectation?
I can switch to a field with “All” instead of “Integer” and it leaves the input field for the column value empty. That’s okay. But nevertheless, an Integer field would be the better choice.

It would be interesting to be able to define default values for such input fields, BTW.

The select fields do behave differently lately. I have a select field with two option. Before, the first option was selected when the Bloq was inserted to an entry, practically as a default value. Now we see “Choose wisely” and have to select one of the options. Is this a Bloq thing or is it EE who does it different as before? My client expect to see a default value, the one I put to the first option place.

This is a change in EE core. There is a Github Issue for it in the EE repo.

Bloqs data is all saved in the same database column, which is a LONGTEXT. I can’t change one atom/field to be integer, otherwise it would change all fields to integers.
