Description of problem

I would like to specify a default value for an instance of the media picker formfield in one of my models and there currently doesn't seem to be an option for it according to the documentation page.

Some other fields have this option available in their BREAD configuration.

Proposed solution

Add another customisation option to the BREAD settings for the Media Picker field that allows a default value to be specified. { "default": "path/to/default.jpg" }

Alternatives considered

Don't set the field to required in the database settings and allow NULL. I will try to work on a PR for this in my spare time.

Additional context

This setting does not seem to work with the Media Picker field.

Use a BREAD accessor (for add in your case) to provide a default value. I think putting a static path into the json options isn't really a good idea. With the accessor you are able to do some more dynamic things.
