Copy default value to other locales in schema editing

Describe the issue:

  • Please include any relevant error messages, screenshots, and troubleshooting you’ve already tried.

    short: Seems like a bug with copy default value to all other locales, or I have misunderstood the feature.

    When editing multi language text field I tried the option “Copy the English default value to all other locales” and then hit save. It saved forever so then i pressed X, did not get a warning about unsaved changes so it all seemed fine. When viewing the page the values were not copied, all other languages but english was empty.
    Whent back to schema-modelling and tried to do it all over but seems it did not recognize a change because I had to put in a new default value before I could press save. This time it did not save forever but the other languages were still empty.

    I’ve hit the copy button several times and got success message but I cannot see any changes, and ofc hard reloaded the page.

Hello @matilda.hoglund, and welcome to the forum! I’m sorry you’re running into issue.

I tried the copy out in a new demo project just to make sure it’s working… to be clear, do you mean this dialog?

The one that shows up you when you first add a new locale to an existing record? Or did you try to copy it some other way?

May I please try to replicate this in your real project, either with a test locale that we add to the main environment, or in a sandbox environment if you prefer?

Alternatively, could you please make a screen recording of the error so we can better see what is going on on your side?

You can use this: Send DatoCMS a screen recording (or any tool you like)

Thank you!

Hey,

I mean this dialog when you edit a schema field.

You can create a sandbox environment and test if you like.
The fields are in our product_page model

I sent you a reply in a direct message, just because it involves your private project details.
