LPL to default a value

Just to be clear, there is a difference between "Default" and "Initial Value".  Default means that every record is automatically assigned this value unless it is overridden and if you delete the override value then the default value will be assigned.  Initial Value is the value that is populated into the form when you create a "new" record - but that value would not be assigned automatically to any other records.

I don't believe it is possible to assign a true "Default" value to a delivered business class field, although you can do this to a custom UserField.  It has to be done a the field level rather than the form level.

You can assign an Initial Value for a field at the form level OR (for custom UserFields) the field level.   Here is a sample of how this is done at the form level for a "constant" value:

LRCJobContextForm is a Form
    title is "JobContextForm"
    Layout
        three column
            effective date
            Job
                display as text
            ShortDescription
                initial value is "KMTesting"
        paragraph
            Description

You can also have it use existing related field name value by replacing the "KMTesting" with the related fieldname.

I hope this helps!
