Pasting or importing default value into document memory UDT member

Ignition
1

Has anyone found a viable technique to import JSON into the default value of a UDT member that's a memory tag of a document datatype?

For an instance, I could normally bidirectionally bind to a placeholder custom property in a view, then paste onto that property.

But to get document data into a UDT member's default itself? I'm struggling to find a viable way.
Even the UDT's built-in value editor won't allow me to change the root type from object to array, nor will it allow me to paste on right click.

if you right click on the tag and select Edit (Raw), you can paste the json directly into value property

Ah, that works! With the addition that I had to manually create the value prop first when I was in the Edit Raw dialog. Create value, paste, apply, good to go.
