Field on form does not display "Default Text"

[DMG]

Using LibreOffice 7.5 with Firebird on a Windows 10 desktop, and as always, would appreciate any help:

I have placed a field on a form that I want to contain a frequently-used text phrase.
.
I have entered the “default text” in two different locations:

• In the “Default Text” option in the Table definition.
• In the “Default Text” option in the Form’s Control Properties.
  .

However, the Default Text is not displayed. Have I missed a step?

In a form you will need the default text, which is written in the properties of the form control.
Default text will be shown here for new fields, but won’t refresh the field if there is no text saved in a row for this field. So it seems to be a little buggy.

Tested with LO 7.5.3.2 and Firebird in OpenSuSE 15.4 64bit rpm Linux.

Ah! So the default text will only appear for NEW records. Good to know. THANK YOU, @RobertG
