It looks like I need to update some tests and there is one change I think will be best when creating/deleting the query parameters. Will try to get to those today.

@dwmorrison33 yeah I've not had time to look at the tests but think I saw a change to the way the params attribute works in the view

Whoa whoa whoa -- there actually IS a way to do this! The param syntax supports providing a default value. As per the docs:

You can combine both a default and label to your parameter but you must start with the label: $$paramName|label:defaultValue$$.

Does that hit the bid?

@chrisclark Thank you for the info, but this PR is stale. I’m thankful we didn’t move forward with this request last year, I will close this PR now.

All good! I really appreciate you taking the time and sorry it took uh...a year to weigh in.
