The '''set_eprint_defaults''' function sets the default values for a EPrint. This usually happens when a EPrint is created but before it is given to the user to edit.

* '''<tt>$data</tt>''' is a hash reference of the metadata which will make up the document object. Each field name is a key in the hash.
* '''<tt>$repository</tt>''' is a [[API:EPrints/Repository|Repository]] object.

==Example==
In this example, the default for '''type''' is set to ''article''.

<pre>
$c->{set_eprint_defaults} = sub
{
my( $data, $repository ) = @_;

$data->{type} = "article";
};
</pre>

N.B. There are also a number of defaults set by the [[API:EPrints/DataObj/EPrint#get_defaults|EPrints::DataObj::EPrint::get_defaults]] method:
# '''dir''' is set to the path where files for the EPrint will be stored (e.g. EPrints 12345 will be stored in ''disk0/00/01/23/45'').
# '''status_changed''' which is set to value of ''lastmod'' which has already been set to the current time.
# '''datestamp''' which is set to value of ''lastmod'' if ''eprint_status'' is already set to ''archive'', (e.g. if the EPrint is being imported).
