After experimenting with padding for an element in a form and subsequently changing my mind, I find I can’t change it back to default. I think this happens outside forms too. Looks like a bug, but possibly I’m not doing it correctly. You can select “default” from the padding dropdown, but it just gets ignored.
Possibly would be less irritating if I knew what the default was in the first place, in which case I could explicitly set it to the default value.
Any suggestion welcome.
Thanks Steve

Hey @Stephen_Pattinson,
You can see what “Default” actually means by using Inspect Element in your browser — open the page, inspect the element, and check the Computed panel to see the exact padding values the theme applies.
If you want to see where that’s defined, open Code → Global → Boilerplate in Sitejet and search for variables like $spacer or $section-padding. Those hold the “default” spacing values that the UI refers to.
Also note that when you manually change padding, Sitejet writes it inline (style="padding:..."). Even if you pick “Default” again, it won’t override that inline value — you have to clear or reset the field to truly go back to the default.
Hope that clarifies it 
Thanks Kalisperakichris,
That is very illuminating and helpful and explains. I think it would be helpful if selecting “default” did exactly that, but I now have greater understanding of what’s “under the hood”. Only thing I don’t understand is how you clear or reset the field. Many thanks.
Hi Andre,
I’m probably ok now given the reply by Kalisperakichris. Only thing I would say that if the dialog boxes allow you to select default padding or margin (which they do), they should do exactly that.
Thanks Steve
Hey Stephen,
It does. It could either be a bug or anything else which we will not find out now Maybe next time.
