DefaultName
DefaultName is an optional child element of TemplateDetails. Specifies the default item name when us-
ing the Add New Item dialog box. This element becomes more important in multi-file templates where you
need to specify a DefaultName element in order to create file names from parts of the input item name.
See the example below.
• Attributes - None.
• Child elements - None.
• Parent elements - TemplateDetails.
• Value - Text value is required. The text value specifies the default name of the template item. Used to
populate the name field with an initial value on the Add New Item dialog box.
