Default Value in filepicker

Greetings,
Is it possible to populate a default working directory in the textbox, something like /home/$USER/Desktop, under working_dir in the VSCode form?

I tried, without success, setting both parameters: value & data-default-directory

Any insight is appreciated.

Sure, you should be able to set the value in the attribute section.

Something like this should work:

attributes:
  path:
    widget: 'path_selector'
    value: <%= CurrentUser.home %>
