Choose what a new record’s form starts one of its questions on, or clear it with no value.

A starting point and not a rule: whoever fills the form in may change it, nothing is saved that they did not save, and no record already made is changed. For a dropdown the value must be one api.record_field_default_options offers for that field, and a form leaves it out where its own picker no longer offers it, so a value since retired from its list opens the question blank. For a number it must be a number the question can hold, and for words it must fit the question’s length.
