Remove default new document template

This plugin creates new Parameterized initial value templates so that any schema types configured in the plugin can be started with a language field already set.

However, it does not remove the default new document template which would start a document with no language field value. So your "new document" menus might look like this:

To remove the default new document option, update your Sanity Studio configuration like below, where prev represents all previously registered templates in the Studio, and we filter out some defaults based on schema type and ID.

// ./sanity.config.ts

export default defineConfig({
  //...rest of config
  schema: {
    // ...rest of schema

    // Filter out the default template for new "page" and "lesson" type documents
    templates: (prev) =>
      prev.filter((template) => !['page', 'lesson'].includes(template.id)),
  },
})

Now your new document menu for just this type will look like this
