Ciao, I'd like to autogenerate some values for existing backend form fields according to client's business rules (think random strong passwords).

I tried with extendFormFields but it is not working (too late?) - pseudo code:

        ForeignController::extendFormFields(function($form, $model, $context) {
            if (!$model instanceof ForeignModel) return;
            if ($context == 'create') {
                $form->getField('foreignfield')->defaults = "...";
                $form->getField('foreignfield')->config['default'] = "...";
            }
        });

Any ideas?

I'd rather set the values on the model, to which you have also access to in the named function ;) $model->attribute = 'default';

Nope, doesn't work inside my plugin boot():

        UsersController::extendFormFields(function($form, $model, $context)
        {
            if (!$model instanceof UserModel) return;

            if ($context == 'create')
            {
                $model->name = "...";
                $model->email = "...@...";
                //dd($model);
            }
        });
