not sure where $key is defined, is this a mistake and it should be
VALUE="$!_key"
You could do something like:
#if ( $_key.toString().length() == 0 )
#set ( $value = "default value" )
#else
#set ( $value = $_key.toString() )
#end
<input value="$value" ...
I am not opposed to adding default values to intake if you wish to add
it, though it does not fit with my current usage. Another possibility
is to always have the $bo be not null and have it return default values
if it is new and unmodified.
