It will be possible to do this in beta46 or beta47.

It will also be possible to set default values in individual 
input controls:

  (:input text name="from"  default="Your name here" :)

would display "Your name here" as the default value for
the text field only if the value hasn't been set somewhere
else (by a previous input default statement, or in the
$InputValues array).  Thus, one can write

    (:input form ... :)
    (:input default request=1:)
    (:input text from default="{$Author}" :)
    (:input text subject default="Subject" :)
    (:input textarea text :)
    (:input submit:)
    (:input end:)

and the "from" and "subject" fields will take their
values from the previous form submitted ("request=1"),
or use {$Author} and "Subject" as their values if no
default values were supplied.
