This plugin is no longer maintained since Craft handles this better since Craft 3.4.

When building sites with Craft CMS, you've probably done this a couple of times: you create a new section, you go to add fields and the first thing you have to do is add a new tab. Every time. This plugin aims to fix that 🎉.

This plugin requires Craft CMS 3.0.0-beta.29 or later.

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

    cd /path/to/project
   

2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

    composer require studioespresso/defaulttab
   

3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for Default Tab.

• Tab title: set the title for your default tab
• Use title field: enable this give each new section a title field (only applies to Single sections)
• Select the field groups you want to add to your new sections by default. Fields in those groups will be added to the section.
