Set value with FieldBuilder

[dile...@gmail.com]

Hey,

In my dynamic plugin I'm constructing some fields, such as custom fields, with FieldBuilder*. However, I'm only able to set the default value of this field and not the current value (the large textarea in the image below).

My current code looks as follows

Field permission = FieldBuilder.builder(CustomField.class)

                                                            .dbColumn(DataTypes.LONG_TEXT.value)

                                                           .name("Test Custom Field")

                                                            .variable("testCustomField")

                                                           .defaultValue("Value set by FieldBuilder")

                                                           .sortOrder(1)

                                                          .build();

This results in the following

The deprecated com.dotmarketing.portlets.structure.model.Field contains a setValues() method that can be used to set the value of the 'Value' textarea. See https://dotcms.com/docs/4.1.0/javadocs/com/dotmarketing/portlets/structure/model/Field.html#setValues-java.lang.String-

Can anyone tell me how I can set the 'Value' textarea with the FieldBuilder class?

Thank you!

Ack, it looks like the builder interface does not provide that method - but the implementations do.  We use them internally, e.g.

https://github.com/dotCMS/core/blob/master/dotCMS/src/main/java/com/dotcms/contenttype/model/type/PageContentType.java#L42-L53

We will get that fixed but in the meantime you can use the concrete impl.
