Problem/Motivation

I just tried the module, and was puzzled that I didn't see the field with the pre-filled values ... I looked in the form source, and could see a hidden field. So on a hunch, I saved the node, and I could see the default value had been saved.

I found #3124194: How do i know the module is running? → which made it all clear to me, so maybe some of your excellent explanation in that issue could be shown on the project page, and added to the README. Perhaps something like this?

[...] This field is then available within the manage display of the entity bundle.

Note: The input field with the default value in the create/edit form is hidden. You can tell whether it is working, as the field value should display once saved. If it doesn't then it is likely that the token couldn't be replaced which is likely because either the token itself isn't available at the time of saving or the token was not added correctly and can't be found.

Requirements

Excellent module by the way, thanks @haydent!

Steps to reproduce

Start using the module, and wonder where the input field is ...

Add info about hidden input field on project page and README.
