Editor Select2 -- Set Default Option Value

mccwebdev

I'm using Datatable's Editor and have an instance that loads with fields using the Select2 plugin. It's loading a json encoded array.

$document_size = json_encode(['1' => '1', '2' => '2', '3' => '3', '4' => '4', '5' => '5', '6' => '6', '7' => '7', '8' => '8']);

fields: [
                {   label: 'Document Type', 
                    name: 'document_type_id',
                    type:  'select2',
                    options: <?php echo $document_types; ?>
                },
                {   label: 'Max Size (MB)', 
                    name: 'max_document_size',
                    type:  'select2',
                    options: <?php echo $document_size; ?>
                },
                {   label: 'Required', 
                    name: 'required',
                    type:  'select2',
                    options: [
                        { label: "Yes", value: 'Y' },
                        { label: "No", value: 'N' }
                    ]
                },
                { label: 'Display Order', name: 'display_order' },
            ],

Is there a way to set the default option in DT editor for a particular field? I'd like to set the max_document_size to default to 4.

Thanks

The field.def option can be used to set a default value.
