[Zope] specifying "value" in Formulator form

There are two ways, depending on what you want:

1/
If the default value is always the same then simply edit the properties
for the "spam" StringField and put "eggs" in the default field.

2/
If you do not know what the default will be until runtime then use the
StringField's override properties to specify the name of a method to
call for the default value. That method should return a string.

This is all described in the help.

Cheers, Matt
