Set default value of Symfony 2 form field in Twig

Question

Is it possible to set default value of input field in Twig ?

I am rendering form row with:

{{ form_widget(form.title) }}

I want to be able to set default value like:

{{ form_widget(form.title, {data : 'Default title'}) }}

Is it even possible ?

Magic keyword for default value is value, not data.

{{ form_widget(form.title, {'value' : 'Default title'}) }}

`{{ form_widget(form.title, {'value' : variable_twig|number_format }) }}` – Muhammad Taqi Nov 30 '15 at 06:37
Is it also possible to set values when I render all form widgets at once? – Jakob Alexander Eichler Oct 25 '17 at 18:18

You can do it when creating the Type as well. I think it's "cleaner" than doing it in Twig.
