Description

@Neehakethi

Problem

When adding or editing a content relationship in the new Edit Content UI, the Site/Folder field filter is currently empty and requires manual selection.
It would improve usability and consistency if this field were automatically populated with the same default behavior seen in the Content Search screen.

Goal

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open any content in the new Edit Content experience.
  2. Go to the Relationships tab.
  3. Click Add Related Content.
  4. Observe that the Site/Folder field is blank.

Target Personas

  • Developer teams
  • Content teams
  • DevOps teams
  • System administrators (dotCMS)

Demo Expectations

The Site/Folder field should be auto-populated (pre-selected) based on the context — similar to how it behaves in the Content Search dialog.

Users should still have the ability to change the selection manually if needed.

Acceptance Criteria

The Site/Folder field should be auto-populated (pre-selected) based on the context — similar to how it behaves in the Content Search dialog.
