Default link target not working correctly

I would like to have the default target in the link dialog be _blank. I have made the following change in my code:
var targetTab = dialogDefinition.getContents( 'target' );
// Set the default value for the URL field.
var targetField = targetTab.get( 'linkTargetType' );
targetField[ 'default' ] = '_blank';

When I display the link dialog it show _blank as the target as desired. My problem is that unless I manually change the link target in the dropdown list the target is not added to the <a> tag.

Re: Default link target not working correctly

Where did you put your code?

I changed

type : 'select',
id : 'linkTargetType',
label : commonLang.target,
'default' : 'notSet',

in _source\plugins\link\dialogs\link.js to

type : 'select',
id : 'linkTargetType',
label : commonLang.target,
'default' : '_blank',

and this works fine.

I was using an older version, 3.2 I believe. When I downloaded the latest version, 3.5, the bug went away.
