The solution is probably somewhere deep in the bowels of whatever you're trying to make work
It will look obvious once you've figured out, that's why it wasn't mentioned next to the bunch of instruction you pasted into your console to install the thing
Just another day walking in the forest of papercuts
That's getting into application state management and heavily dependent on what kind of form it is.
What I wrote above reflects what web forms usually follow, and they don't use faded values for defaults, because in the context of a form, defaults are just values that were pre-populated and get no special styling.
I think you keep missing my point. This isn't about a "usual web form". You aren't entering your address or something. You're configuring a service or server. Those are very different worlds. I understand that those kinds of forms where you enter your address (or whatever) wouldn't ever have a default in there. In that context a default doesn't make any sense (default name, default street, default city?). And even in the cases where it might, it would be - as you pointed out - unexpected for the kinds of users that usually fill out "web forms".
When you're configuring a server/service, that's a very different world. Many fields could have defaults, and you wouldn't want to hard-code those into your config. That is what this is. It's essentially a web interface for a config file, which often has default values for any field you don't specify for a variety of reasons. Defaults DO have special meaning here. That's the whole point I'm trying to make! In that world it very much makes sense. The best way to show it is obviously a matter of personal taste, I actually like (and prefer) the greyed out way for reason I mentioned above.
