default value for a field?

[Terrence Brannon]

My question is: where do I set a default value for a Field? When the field is rendered in an input element, I want a default value there, not just a placeholder.

Taking the "separator" Field on line 29 here:

https://gist.github.com/metaperl/63ad1de90cf66c03b3cb39f0a1ba3970#file-defaultvalue-py-L29

my question is where do I set a default value for it and how?

Perhaps it's when I render it like here:

Actually it's when you construct the instance, on line 74 that you can do it:

Thats correct.

Fields are part of our "modelinterface" module because they can be used
whether or not you use the web framework.

The reference docs for it is here:
