Setting default values for fields

As you add more and more fields onto your screens, sometimes it can be overwhelming and confusing for your end users, especially for free text fields such as Description. Users will often enter data however they like. To help with that, one way is to have instructions set as default values for some of these fields to help guide your users with their inputs. For those of you who have used other systems, such as GitHub, this is a common practice.

In this recipe, we will look at how to set up a default value for the Description field, in the form of instructions for users to follow when creating a bug report.
