default value for select widget

[InfGame]

Heya! I have a select widget for a color theme that i use in many templates of mine:

colorStyle {
  label: Color;
  widget: select;
  options: Red=Rot|Green=Grün|Blue=Taubenblau|DarkBlue=Dunkelblau|Oliv|Neutral;
}

Tho i would like a different theme to be the default on different templates.

Is there any way to define a default value on a select widget?

The selections reffere back to a list of hexcodes that are used in an element's css that uses the theme like this:

-ko-background-color: @[colorStyle == 'Green' ? '#ebf1eb' : colorStyle == 'Blue' ? '#e9f0f5' : colorStyle == 'DarkBlue' ? '#e5ecf0' : colorStyle == 'Oliv' ? '#edeeec' : colorStyle == 'Neutral' ? '#f3eeea' : '#f5e6e9']

Defaults are not a widget thing, but a "variable" thing. Most times the default is automatically read from the HTML/CSS value, but in your case you use an expression so Mosaico is not able to guess it and you have to make it explicit in the block definition, e.g:

myBlock {
  properties: **colorStyle=Blue** otherProps anotherOne;
}

You can hava a look at versafix template: the "bigSocialBlock" defines the default value for "bigSocialIconType".

I have tried this but it doesn't seem to work since, when I add a block, which uses the colorStyle attribute, it still seems to default the theme to Red instead of the set Neutral

Then you probably have some place in the template already defining Red as the default for that property in that theme. I can't tell anything more without the template.

does it help to tell you that this variable is used globaly in the template and shows up under the "Style" tab in the editor? else I will give you a version of the template I am talking about

I have found the solution to my problem.
Looking through the template i have found an attribute called -color-stylethat I have used. I needed to set this attribute to Neutral.
