New page field defaults

[benbyf]

HELLO!

Thought of a super interesting module and wondered if anyone had created it or not, and some feedback on the idea.

New page field defaults - on creating a new child page, you choose a template and page title and click submit -> the resulting page is prepopulated with content dependent on the template you chose.

Not sure about implmentation yet just thought was an interesting idea.

@benbyf - not sure whether you mean real content, or dummy/placeholder, but if the latter, then maybe you want to check out:

What exactly is level 2

[benbyf]

Ha, I mean like that other module, but with more functionality, like level 2 in a game (its a saying, like leveling up).

I get the metaphor  I was after the specifics of what additional functionality you are looking for!

Ah sorry, yes I was thinking that it might be nice to have a module that you can choose a template and for each field available to that template choose default values to pre-populate a page on creation. So the values are template depend not field depend.
