# Base values

Base values allow you to define a set of fallback values for content when fields are left empty.

If you use data model inheritance the base values are also inherited.

i.e., if you have a `Blog Post` model that inherits from `Base Page` then any base values on the `Base Page` will propagate through to your `Blog Post` entries.
