Can we have the ability to set default field values in Noloco tables? Seems odd that it’s a common attribute all other databases have but it’s not found in noloco tables.

Thanks for the suggestion @bigdank

The reason we don’t have these now is because they’re pretty easy to configure either throug ha workflow (when a new record is created) or through a hidden value in a form, which is what Noloco users have been doing to set default values when creating new records

But it’s definitely something I could see us supporting eventually
