Magento 2: How to set default value of quantity in new product page

However, I cannot set "disable" to "Enable Product" field by default. I try to find the xml file to add

<item name="value" xsi:type="string">1</item>

However, I cannot find where it can put. Also, I try to change the meta for this field.

$meta["product-details"]["children"]["container_status"]["children"]["status"]["arguments"]["data"]["config"]["default"] = "2";

After add this to my modifer. It still show "Enable" by default.

Is I do something wrong about set it to disable?

Answer 1

Go to your database and change the default value to status attribute to 0 instead of 1.

You can find the attribute in eav_attribute table. By default it will be having id as 97

You can also change the default value in admin. Go to store-> attribute -> product-> search for status attribute. And change its default value
