Ability to set a default for boolean values when creating a new content type

[emilyrbowe]

The biggest use case here is to be able to set a default for something like the draft field when creating a new post/page. It could be implemented like the ui.defaultItem property in the object field.

A possible config file is below:

    {
      name: 'post',
      label: 'Post',
      path: 'content/posts',
      fields: [
        {
          name: 'draft',
          label: 'Draft',
          type: 'boolean',
          required: true,
          description: 'If this is checked the post will not be published',
          ui: {
                defaultValue: true,
          }
        },
        // ... other fields
      ],
    },
  ],

The correct way to add a default value on page creation would be to use defaultItem on the collection ui object. Here's an example:

{
        label: "Posts",
        name: "post",
        path: "content/post",
        format: "mdx",
        fields: [
          {
            type: "string",
            label: "Title",
            name: "title",
            required: true,
            isTitle: true,
          },
          {
            type: "boolean",
            label: "Draft",
            name: "draft",
          },
          {
            label: "Body",
            name: "body",
            type: "rich-text",
            isBody: true,
          },
        ],
        ui: {
          defaultItem: () => {
            return {
              draft: true,
            };
          },
          router: ({ document }) => {
            return `/posts/${document._sys.filename}`;
          },
          filename: {
            slugify: values => {
              return `${(values.title || "").toLowerCase().replace(/ /g, "-")}`.replace(/[^\w\.\/-\s]/gi, "");
            }
          }
        },
      }```
