Is there a way for a user to add new content and have some of the fields already pre populated with default text/input.
That way the user can amend what changes are required for a node without having to copy and paste what will be very similar details into the add content screen node/add/[content type]?
Hope that makes sense.
Yes almost all fields have a section to add default content. Go to "Structure" > "Content Types" > Your content type > "Manage Fields" then select edit on the field that you want to add the default text to
You are probably looking for prepopulate...

Although that may not be workable for all forms as you wish, but when I used it, it worked as expected.
This module allows you to enter field names and their default value on a URL and the module take that data and puts it in the input fields as default.
