Every field (except for buttons and signatures) has a "defaultValue" property that can be set, like this:

this.getField("Text1").defaultValue = "This is the default value of this field";

I did not find it in the properties of the field, so I entered into Java Script document, and it works! Thank you!

The default value entry is on the "Options" tab for the field properties pop-up window.

But there can only enter a value, not a javascript.
