Force user to change default value for single line text field

    I would like to put a default value in a single line text field (this field is required), but then produce an error message if the user leaves the default value unchanged when the form is submitted, so that the user must change the default value to something else.

    You need to customize "post-functions.php" file for this. for single line text, you can go to around line 198 ~ 200 and you will see these code :

    if($validation_result !== true){
	$error_elements[$element_id] = $validation_result;
}

    then put these customization code bellow that line 

    if ($form_id ==24 && $element_id == 1) {
	if ($element_data == 'test') {
		$error_elements[$element_id] = "You need to fill the field";
	}
}

    That would do it.
    In there I assume your form id is 24 and the field id is 1, with default value "test". You need to change those values with yours.
