Feature: Pre-fill object when creating new entries

[IngwiePhoenix]

Is your feature request related to a problem?

Right now I reference my own schemas or memory to put together the objects I'd like to insert. During the development of the application I am working on, I am foregoing mock-data from JSON files and instead now putting actual records into the database for testing (so, seeding, if you will). However, those tables have become quite complex - so it would be really nice to have a little help.

Describe the solution

When you head to Explore, select a table, and click the + icon, you get a blank object. It would be very helpful if that object could be pre-filled with assumed default values for all the fields. Even if those defaults are wrong, just having a list of ready-to-edit fields would go a long way. Alternatively, just show a form and use field comments to show a description for them. The latter takes advantage of DEFINE FIELD afield ON atable (...) COMMENT "A useful text for the field and what it is ment to be.".

Have you considered contributing this feature yourself?

No - Surrealist's codebase is extremely complex and I am not a big fan of webdev stuff to be completely frank - React kills my brain, I am afraid... ^^;
