I have the defaultmode set to new and also I am invoking the NewForm function when pressing the navigation button to the page where the form is.
Hi @Anonymous
try setting the default in the inputs, most inputs have a default property
yup its set to parent.default
the parent is probably a card that also has a default field, you can set the default there if the input it self its set to parent.
for that I have ThisItem.'Prevention of Accidental Ignition'where after the dot is a column in my sharepoint list
Hi.
ThisItem.'Prevention of Accidental Ignition' is Blank() that's why the input is empty
you can set to If(ThisItem.'Prevention of Accidental Ignition' = Blank(), "your default", ThisItem.'Prevention of Accidental Ignition')
but there are defaults within the SharePoint list already. there has to be a way to pull those out
Thats true, but setting the default manually will tell you if the default is not being pulled.

this post might help.
Yes I was looking at that link before as well. I did some testing and it seems that the parent default is blank. do you know of any way to fix that?
My understanding is that it is EditForm or ViewForm that populates data from datasource. Therefore your navigate Button should rather be: EditForm(YourFormName)
New form don't populate forms, is supposed to be blank
