Data Source Property: Add the “–Please Select–” default empty option

  • Custom Modules

Essentially, once a content data source selection is made, then saved on any custom module record, a content admin can only editorially select an ALTERNATE data source item, they can’t select the equivalent of a BC ‘empty option’.

Why is this important? The vast majority of our BC websites are published from several related (and modularized) web app item data source associations. Our clients simply need the ability to select a ‘default empty option’ from the admin to trigger their displays to behave to their expectation from time to time.

I acknowledge that if the data source property is simply not required and not selected, that an equivalent to empty option would be true, BUT as soon as an editorial action has selected and saved a property selection, the option for a ‘empty’ value simply does not exist.
