Does anybody know whether it is possible to set the default value of any field of Powermail form with TypoScript (without creating a special TypoScript object field)?

Yes, it is possible. Use the TCAdefaults typoscript object in your page ts config.

TCAdefaults.tt_news.hidden = 0

This example makes tt_news entries not hidden. The format is

TCAdefaults.[table].[field] = [value]

and this works with everything that is inside a tca. So you can practically set defaults for any field in any table.

Thanks, but the question is about Powermail form !
Following the documentation, you can set that in the backend directly. What exactly is your use case?
For example, to fill a hidden field with Id, name, and email of FE user.

Setting value of hidden field is built-in in powermail, of course it works only with fe_users table.

When editing field you'll find it at the bottom of the properties: Fill out this field with fe_user field

If you need to use other fields from DB, you can configure them via ExtensionManager.

Edit:

There is mentioned in docs that's possible to prefill values with TS, I didn't test in, however looks, that's what are you need.

Thanks, but I need TypoScript processing of the data, so the question is how to do it with TypoScript, to put any TSObject as default value of the field.
