Passing Default Values to Forms

Calguy added a nice feature, which is that you can pass default field values to your form via the module tag. This allows you to have the same form in multiple places, but with different default values. It may not work for more exotic field types, but for fields that have a single value, you can specify like:

{FormBuilder form='my_form' value_FIELDNAME='default_value'}

This will set the field with FIELDNAME to 'default_value'.

This can be problematic, as sometimes field names are unwieldy or contain characters that don't work well with Smarty. So there is an alternative like this:

{FormBuilder form='my_form' value_fldNUMBER='default_value'}

That uses field NUMBER, where NUMBER is the internal FormBuilder field id. You might wonder how you know what that id is. Simply go into the FormBuilder configuration tab, and check "Show Field IDs"
