Initial watermark text displayed in the control, e.g., “Enter Title here”. The watermark is not a real permitted value; it is a temporary value. The required validator treats this value as if the user did not enter anything in the text box.
“Initial value” also specifies a value for the ‘NO-SELECTION’ entry for dropdown lists. The “Initial value” property applies only when the “Required” property is set to ‘True’. Upon saving, the selected value is compared to the initial value, and if they are the same, an error is displayed to the user requesting they select a value.
