Initial Modal is Clueless

[webteckie]

The initial modal is clueless...what exactly is a user supposed to enter? Some apps want to offer part of the Admin UI to visitors who are not Admin UI experts. For example, in the following it would be nice if the Admin UI actually spelled out that it wants a Post Title

To me the following reads more useful:

Adding initial: true will give you the field name or label value.

@snowkeeper you are absolutely right, missed that on this particular list :-) However, since the Admin UI still works fine without it should I leave this open to display, at least, the name or mapped name?

Good point, I'll mark this as a bug since that's not very user friendly. Good catch!

Is it make sense fix this issue in https://github.com/keystonejs/generator-keystone repo? Just add initial: true in https://github.com/keystonejs/generator-keystone/tree/master/app/templates/models

closing in favor of #1840. workaround is also provided in comments.
given that Keystone 4 is going in maintenance mode (see #4913 for details), this may not be addressed as critical bug.
