CMS Joomla has a standard subform field type. How to fill in the default values in it?

Field code in XML:

<field name="field-name" type="subform"
formsource="exampleform.xml" multiple="true"
label="Subform Field" description="Subform Field Description" />

Code exampleform.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<form>
    <field name="example_text" type="text" label="Example Text" />
    <field name="example_textarea" type="textarea" label="Example Textarea" />
</form>

Can't find the answer in the documentation.

https://docs.joomla.org/Text_form_field_type

default (optional) (not translatable) is the default value.

<field name="mytextvalue" type="text" default="Some text" label="Enter some text" description="" size="10" />

default="Some text"

    Setting the default in exampleform.xml should load the default each time it triggers a multiple instance of the form. If you don't want the default value to be saved in the database, note that you can also use hint to show placeholder text.
