[Qgis-user] Default values in form

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi,

I would also think the way Bernhard is describing it below. But I do 
think that we need a more fine-grained way for each column to specify 
whether it should use the last value or the default value. But in 
general, if not specified otherwise, the last value should have 
precedence.
