What are Property Value Presets in Umbraco?

They are extensions that automatically populate property fields with default values when a new content node is created, streamlining the content entry process.

Can I fetch default values from an external API?

Yes, this skill helps implement asynchronous presets that can call internal or external APIs to determine the initial value during the creation process.

Is it compatible with the latest Umbraco versions?

The skill is specifically designed to fetch and follow the latest official Umbraco documentation for the modern Backoffice and Extension Registry.

Does this skill support both UI and Schema aliases?

Yes, it can target presets based on either the specific Property Editor UI alias or the underlying Property Editor Schema alias for broader application.

How do multiple presets interact?

They use a 'weight' property in the manifest; presets with lower weights run first, allowing subsequent higher-weight presets to progressively modify the value.

Content Management

Automates the implementation of default property values in the Umbraco CMS backoffice using the latest extension APIs.

This skill enables Claude to efficiently create and manage Umbraco Property Value Presets, which provide sensible default values when users create new content in the backoffice. It guides the development of both simple static defaults and complex dynamic presets that fetch data from external APIs or configuration collections. By leveraging the Umbraco Extension Registry, this skill ensures that backoffice customizations follow official architectural patterns, including the use of weights for progressive value modification and targeting specific property editors by UI or schema alias.
