Hi Vijay,

If you wnat ot set the default value in custom field then it's straight forward...Just follow the below steps...

Go to that custom object in setup  =>  Open that field ==> Edit => General Options => Default Value.

But if you are trying to set the default value in standard field then you have to override the new button... You can't set it in field level directly...

1. Default Value for Standard Fields using URL Hack

2. Or use the Apex Trigger , Flows to update the default value... But it will show only after save button clicked...

Thanks,
