    Description

      Timebox: Find out via support tickets and other investigation which types of default values are problematic other than the example given in the last paragraph here. 5 SP

      In M5 fields have the ability to support default values (optional property defaultValue), in order to present users with some predefined choices. It was assumed that the value was a String.

      This property is still in the new field definition and now accepts a generic argument. Back in the day, a possible implementation was attempted, e.g. in the case of JCR, by specifying a node name (the configuration is commented out and still visible at contacts-v8.yaml). This no longer works as ItemToLinkConverter at JcrSelectFieldSupport tries to retrieve the model (a JCR Node) by uuid. However, when a defaultValue is provided as a node name the converter throws an exception (I assume that using uuid as default values would be most inconvenient for users).
