Specify default values for parameters

[tudor@…]

Is there possible to specify some default values for a field?

[Álvaro Iradier]

Not now, but sounds like an interesting feature. Patches are accepted, or I'll take a look when I get some free time.

I've made the changes this morning. This is for 0.11

Maybe you could include the change in your next release. Cheers

[Álvaro Iradier]

Thanks very much! I would only change the regular expression to use named groups, it's quite complicated. I'm taking it for next release.

Greets.

(In [9437]) Added support for default value in the parameters. Closes #8013

[Álvaro Iradier]

Feature included in version 0.3. Changes from your patch are:

• Using named groups, the regular expression was getting quite complicated.
• Keep the "field_type" parameter optional. If you specify a default value, field_type must be specified too. If not, both can be omitted.
