Do the default value settings take effect if you create a new entry with that field? Changing default values for a field won't affect existing elements using that field.

(Asked by: username_0 on 2022-02-02)

I have a table field with 3 columns, one of them is 'Weekday', Type = single line text.

how can I set a **placeholder** to the weekday column ( Monday, Tuesday,....) in the **Control Panel**.

right now I have to set the value manually each time I create a new entry.

You can set default field values in Settings → Fields → *your table field*.

Scroll down on the page and you will see a **Default Values** section ([docs](https://craftcms.com/docs/3.x/table-fields.html#settings)).

Add the rows/values you need, save your field and next time you create an entry, the table will be prepopulated.
