Question

I am facing the following issue :
In my Tridion UI/Experience Manager setup, I have created a content type from a schema with a specific Component template.
When I create new content based on this content type, it is added to the page correctly : with the component template I specified.

However, when I add existing content to the page, Tridion seems to select a different component template then the one I defined in my content type.

After some testing, I found out that it takes the oldest component template that is linked to my component’s schema.

Is there a way to configure which component template should be used by default when adding existing components ?

Thanks for your help.

Answer 1

It always takes the first Component Template that is allowed within the selected region and can be used with the Schema. So you would need to ensure that there is only one option available if you wanted to set it to a specific template.
