Description

In the project documentation/form_setup, there is a Surveyor field with default value (@mergin_username).
In this case, 'Reuse last value' option should not be available. But it is and it is misleading, as the user expect, that when he checked it, his value would be reuse in next feature, but it isn't. Default value is used instead.

Research direction

Review project documentation/form_setup and the Surveyor field configuration to trace how default values interact with the “Reuse last value” option. Confirm the expected behavior: the option should not be available when a default value is configured, or should not imply that reuse overrides that default. No test file or implementation entry point is mentioned.
