    ok, the change the formula to something like where "Value" is the default value for a new form

     

    If(Form1.Mode = FormMode.New,"Value",Parent.Default)

    I'm also using the edit form as new form. Sorry forgot to mention, that is why I need to set a default item.

    the default should be parent.default to return the saved value
