      When saving a SwitchableField called 'switch', with its default transformer:

      • Default selection is ignored (expected to save at least the 'switch' property to the name of the default selected option).
      • Default value of the default selection is ignored (expected to save e.g. switchtext = myDefaultTextValue)
      • Only when entering changes in one of the fields will then save all properties at once.

      Hint: We mostly need to trigger transformer to write to the item on switchable selection changes (see selectionListener).

      As a side note:

      • There should be no preselection when using radio buttons, unless explicitly configured (option selected=true)
      • For select dropdowns, in case there is no default preselection, field should behave like a native select, i.e. never be blank and show first option.
      • Finally, we should save switchable field's subfields 'on demand' (currently it's just all at once).

      ------ Original description ------

      Using info.magnolia.ui.form.field.definition.SwitchableFieldDefinition with hidden fields (see attached configuration) results in two bugs:

      • original switch is not reflecting its default value which is not saved
      • even when switch is set to reveal hidden fields their default values are ignored as well on save

      Steps to reproduce using attached config:

      • Open the dialog and save without any other action
        • default value of the SwitchableFieldDefinition should be saved but it's not
        • default values of hidden properties should be saved as well (in this case may be intention to not save them)
      • Open the dialog, set the SwitchableFieldDefinition to true (which will result in revealing two other fields), then save
        • default value of SwitchableFieldDefinition is saved properly this time
        • however underlying properties are still ignored until modified
