Providing default value for a field through HTML?

We pass all options through data- attributes.
How can you set a "default" value for a field in "New" mode?

In the case of Editor it doesn't have options to be initialised from data-* attributes in the same way as DataTables does (i.e. reading them in automatically) - since Editor does not require any elements to be on the page (the form is dynamically added for example).

What you'd need to do is read the data-* attributes back from whatever element you attach them to (this is how DataTables does it for columns).

How are you currently configuring Editor? fields.def is the parameter you want to use.

Thanks,

Sorry, my mistake...I wrote my initialization from data- attributes a while ago and forgot about it :-)
