To format a numeric field in a special way use the # character and spaces to tell isave the way you want the number to be presented in the generated file. Note that this only applies to numbers and that the input string has to be in one stream without spaces.

To add a Default value to a field, type in the text in the field Default value.
If you don’t want the end user to change its value, check the box “Hide field” (then only an ADMIN can change its value, but it’s more flexible than to hard code the text in the template file).
