I created a new content type and added a simple Text field.
To test the Default value for new content I entered "this is the default" into the Default value field.
When I create new content shouldn't the words "this is the default" auto populate into the Text field on the create content form?
I've tried using filtered text formats but it doesn't change anything and the Text field remains blank in the new content form.
Here's what I'm seeing.
I would ideally like to use tokens in this field but unsure what I need to do to get default content in the Default value field.
This is a new install of Backdrop.
Hi lias.
Yes, the default value autopopulates the field. I'm not sure why this is not working for you:
As for using tokens, you can use them if you choose Filtered text, AND enable the module Token filter. Then be sure to enable the token filter for Basic or any other text format by editing those text formats under Configuration > Content authoring > Text editors and formats.
