Default values where? Registration? Profile edit? Registration you can set the default by editing the field within CB > Field Management. There is no default value parameter for profile edit. CB won't pull values from POST to registration or profile edit unless the POST came from registration or profile edit.

1 / i'm creating a component.
2/ I want to use CB custom fields to pupulate a search form in this component.
3/ So i use the API call getTab to display fields i previously put in a tab
4/ I need to display some default datas in those fields.

How is this possible ?

I notice that when i'm connected with a user, the field where already populated with the user datas. I don't want that, i want to display a search form, not the user's datas. Wuant am i doing wrong ?

Call getTab with $reason set to "search" or call it with an empty user object. Sounds like you're outputting the edit view of a tab for a user. What are you trying to accomplish with all of this that a userlist can't provide?

Hi,

Thank you very mutch for your answer.
in my mind, user list are the result of search criterias that are configured in CB Backend.
What i'm trying to do is a search engine among the all le CB Users in front-end. al i missing somthing ? Is there a CB way to acheive this ?

Install CB Search Bot then simply use Joomla search in that case. It can search all users and as many fields of those users that you like. The search criteria configured for a userlist is just what fields you want to allow users to search. The users themselves would be doing the searching. There is no mode to search multiple fields at once with a single input on a userlist if that's what you're wanting.
