Hi Umbraco Community, I'm currently tackling a project involving the Block Grid editor for content creation. The client has a clearly structured page hierarchy and specific Hero Blocks for different page types. They envision a feature where the appropriate Hero Block is pre-selected as the first block when creating new content (a default setting). Question: Is there a way to implement default setups for blocks, or alternatively, validation to guide editors in making the Hero Block the first content block before enabling Save/Publish? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Are you aware of content templates (or blueprints as they used to be called)? https://docs.umbraco.com/umbraco-cms/fundamentals/backoffice/content-templates Might be a simple no code or plugins, out of the box compromise, although not exactly a default value, like you are after.

Thanks for your reply Mike, will look deeper into it 🙂
