How do we set initial values for a LIST in the Content Editor of a custom widget?
I'm creating a widget that will have a very simple List field in its Content Editor — each item in the list only has 1 field.
By default, I'd like the widget to be initialised with 3 items on its list, and each item with a different value — i.e., when the widget is dragged onto the Editor, the list in the Content Editor should have 3 unique values. Right now, when I select the 'Default Number of Items' on the List, it populates them all with the same, default value I entered for the item…
Is this possible to do? Or must all the list items have the same value at the start?

You would need to use some JS in the widget builder that assigned each child in the list a new value. You can also use a Random Function to make the values different as well.

Hi @visioncraft - this is a good question. I have a colleague I can ask once they return from PTO!
