Issue

  • Default values in structure with repeatable field don't work as expected.
  • After creating an exporting a structure with a repeatable field, the default value is empty, despite being defined in the structure

 

Steps to reproduced

  1. Go to Content & Data -> Structures (tab).
  2. Create new Structure (st_Test).
  3. Drag Text field to st_Test and check it as Repeatable.
  4. Save new structure.
  5. Click on three dots and go to Edit Default Values.
  6. Fill field text with "This is a test" and save
  7. Go back to Web Content (tab) and create new Web Content (wc_Test) based on st_Test.
  8. Click on “+” on field text to duplicate it.

Expected behavior: New duplicate field keep the default value ("this is a test")

Actual behavior: New duplicate field doesn't have default value.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.4
  • Liferay DXP Quarterly Release

Resolution

  • To resolve this behavior, upgrade to Liferay DXP 2024.Q2.5+, or request a hotfix built on LPD-28728, if you are still within the Support Coverage window.
