I'm using the ListFormWebPart in a custom web part page for creating and editing objects.

One issue, though: when I go to create a new object using the LFWP, it seems to be populating it with some default text (see screenshot below).

I figured that in the case of the URL fields, I could easily find "example.com" and did a find on the whole 14 hive and found no occurrences that match text in that context (was expecting maybe in Resources). I tested with other fields and DateTime fields are picking up [today] and numeric fields are picking up "1,234.56".

I also tried setting <Default></Default> on the fields with no luck.

Any idea on where these values are coming from and how to set them to empty?

Check the site columns in the UI to see if they have default values specified. – PirateEric Jun 18 '12 at 19:07
@PirateEric: Definitely not since these are all custom fields and, as mentioned, I've tried setting the default value to an empty string. – Charles Chen Jun 18 '12 at 19:43
