Description

**Description**

If you set up a field with a default value and then enable the "reuse last entered value" option on QGIS Desktop and MM App you can see how the last entered value is correctly used in QGIS Desktop but not on MM App where the "default" value is always used upon opening the form.

QGIS Desktop way is the expected correct one.

**Application (+ app version, build, operating system)**

Research direction

Reproduce the issue in the Mergin Maps mobile form using a field with a default value and “reuse last entered value” enabled, then compare the form initialization with QGIS Desktop behavior. Trace the form’s handling of these two settings; done means the previously entered value takes precedence over the default on the mobile app.
