 The value of the form `initialValues` prop is an object, or a function returning an object, specifying default values for the created record. For instance:
 
 ```jsx

+const postDefaultValue = () => ({ id: uuid(), created_at: new Date(), nb_views: 0 });

-**Tip**: For default values computed during the first render, or default values that are expensive to compute, use `React.useMemo` as in the example above.
+**Tip**: Per-input default values cannot be functions. For default values computed at render time, set the `initialValues` at the form level, as explained in the previous section.
