FreeForm Pro 4.2.0 form fields prepulated with "value"

Question

I'm trying to get the fields that appear on my contact form to be pre-populated using the standard HTML "Value" attribute, but can not figure out how to get the freeform:field declaration to pass it on.

I currently have the following in my form code: {freeform:field:name value="test"}

Here is the form online as of right now: http://sustainablefurnishings.com/contact_us/

The "value" is not populated in the code and therefore doesn't appear in the field.

How can the "Value" be set for a form field using the FreeForm Pro tools? Am I missing something in their documentation?

Answer 1

The parameter you are looking for is default_value:

{freeform:field:my_field default_value=""}
