  2. Assign a new TV 'childDefaultTemplate' to each template, for which you want to define the default children template.
  3. Set the newly created TV to type List Box and its 'Input Option Values' to: @SELECT `templatename` AS `name`,`id` FROM `[[+PREFIX]]site_templates` This will fetch all available templates from the db.
