Hi,

In 6.x , the document include a part for assigning initial values.

But seems it is outdated.
Fox example,In CUBA 7 ,the screen use StandardEditor, there is no initNewItem method.

Finally ,i figure out the problem using the setEntityToEdit method.

Use InitEntityEvent in StandardEditor and MasterDetailScreen:

@Subscribe
protected void onInitEntity(InitEntityEvent<Foo> event) {
    event.getEntity().setStatus(Status.ACTIVE);
}
