Conditional group defaultValues being saved to document object even if condition isn't true.
I have a few groups in a collection that appear conditionally based on checkboxes, and within those groups, I have some text fields with default values. I expected to see either no group saved to the document or, at most, an empty group object if the condition wasn't met when I added a new document to the collection.
Even though conditionally, the groups are not active when I save a document, is it expected behaviour for the group & default values to be saved on the document object?
Yes, this is expected behavior because conditional logic is for representation in the admin interface only. It does not affect or alter data in any way - so default values behave normally.
I understand, thank you for clarifying.
