Describe the Issue

adding a default value option to an input does not actually set that value. For example, if you have a dnd strength score field default to 10, then the field says it is set to ten, but if you have a view that calculated the strength modifier based on the strength score it will base the calculation off of zero instead of 10.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Add a numeric input field with a default value other than zero
2. Add a view field based off the same bind target that shows the value
3. Until you change the field from its default value, the view field will show 0

Expected Behavior

If a defaultValue is specified then it should be recorded as that value until the value has been changed

[mProjectsCode]

To quote the docs:

A default value is displayed when the value of the bind target is null or invalid.

An input fields never changes the bound frontmatter value without user interaction.

[TomNCatz]

The doesn't that mean that the Default Value option is the equivalent of the Placeholder option and doesn't really do anything?
The View fields can change frontmatter without user input, so I'm not sure that this case should be any different.

[mProjectsCode]

placeholder mimicks the HTML placeholder attribute for input fields. defaultValue does something, though admittedly not much. The fact that frontmatter does not change without user input (for input fields) was an early design decision. Changing that behavior now would be a breaking change. That could be a possible change for 2.0, but I don't know if 2.0 will ever happen.

Fair enough, thank you for your consideration
