This would automatically show in the displayed cell and form_data when a new row is created that isn't provided a value for said property.\r\n\r\n**Rationale**\r\nGoogling around, there are several use cases for supplying default cell values. While I appreciate the flexibility the current pre-populate method allows, it seems extreme to have to write a custom render method and custom beforeChange method to parse all this out just to have cells with default data.\r\n"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/handsontable/handsontable/issues/comments/106221664","html_url":"https://github.com/handsontable/handsontable/issues/2504#issuecomment-106221664","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/handsontable/handsontable/issues/2504","id":106221664,"user":{"login":"YipYipX4","id":2667349,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/2667349?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/YipYipX4","html_url":"https://github.com/YipYipX4","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/YipYipX4/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/YipYipX4/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/YipYipX4/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/YipYipX4/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/YipYipX4/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/YipYipX4/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/YipYipX4/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/YipYipX4/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/YipYipX4/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-05-28T07:57:27Z","updated_at":"2015-05-28T07:57:27Z","body":"I think that should work for you.
