Being old and stupid I don't understand this wish. Why not just set the default value to Kenneth in the dataform structure in your live template?

Maybe the word "default" is a bit wrong and got you in the wondering-about-zone. Don't read it as the default-value but as "the value I already have given to this site and would love to see automatically apear"… That should change your opinion and would make you rate up this this wish, like james and I did.

Oh I do +1 the wish, but I mean +1 Rob's post. He's logic made me laugh, 'cause it's mostly true :D

Okay sorry James. Will try never to speak again in some body else his/her name.
But I assume knowing Kenneth and what he has done till now… He would not wish for something as simple and trivial as setting the default value.
So please Kenneth elaborate a bit more on your wish.

Ah, so it's got nothing to do with default values but is just a wish to be able to pre-populate the value of a field at the time the page is created via a url. That I understand and can see it would be very useful so will rate it up.
That word default should be removed though.

Well it's how I interprete the wish. Maybe it's also because I would wish for something like this.

Haha - okay, sorry for the confusion everyone. I've been sick for a bit last week - so I haven't really checked this wish here.
Basically, yes - it's defining the value that would appear in a given field for that particular requested URL on page creation.
Hope my edit clears this up a little :)

It would be useful :D +1
I am currently inactive.
Have also a look on my problem with not filled dataform fields at the creation time:
http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-557568/dataform-question-autofilling-within-new-page#post-1554147
Not sure if this wish could help me with my problem.. but it would be usefull to automatically build an URL wioth the %%fullname%% of the page - not for a title of the "child" but to fill in a standard dataform field ( like "parent" or "belongs_to") . T
o have an exact search field for Listpages module… saved within the source code of the page - as long as the backup does not save "tags" or "parenting information" this is neccessary to be on the save and secure side,
And there is an old wish from gerdami too:

I recently ran into a situation where this would be very useful as well. I'm using formatted links to set the parent of a new data form page. I need one of 9 values in a select field to correspond to the parent and it would be really useful if I could set the default value for that field in the URL.
For my application, it requires the user to change the field value when presented with the new form. If they forget, it's not a huge deal since it can be fixed by editing the page, but it would be nice from a workflow/user-friendly standpoint to preset the default value.
