defaultValue for configurable-enum dropdowns

[sleidig]

In the Entity Schema we can set a defaultValue for an attribute/field. However, this currently does not work for configurable-enum dataType, because values for that are transformed in contrast to simple string dataType.

For public forms we do support this:

ndb-core/src/app/features/public-form/public-form.component.ts

Lines 76 to 79 in e889991

	this.prefilled = this.entitySchemaService.transformDatabaseToEntityFormat(
	this.formConfig.prefilled,
	this.entityType.schema,
	);

Probably this approach can be used to improve the implementation of the default value assignment:

ndb-core/src/app/core/common-components/entity-form/entity-form.service.ts

Line 197 in e889991

private getDefaultValue<T>(schema: EntitySchemaField) {

As discussed in our technical call regarding this issue, my approach will be:

1. Use the ID in the defaultValueConfig for configurableEnum (instead of relying on the label).
2. Add a new method in EntitySchemaService to transform or retrieve the configurableEnum object from the given ID.
3. Integrate this method into DefaultValueService, within the handleStaticMode method.
4. Write test cases for this implementation.

Let me know if you have any feedback or suggestions.

@Abhinegi2 , you shouldn't have to implement a new method in EntitySchemaService but rather the valueToEntityForm() method should do that already if called with the relevant parameters:

ndb-core/src/app/core/entity/schema/entity-schema.service.ts

Line 217 in 5b90744
