SOLVED: TextField - how to provide an initial value

I'm working on an app that has a Tournament struct and an [Tournament]. The struct will contain Strings, a Date, some Ints, etc.

On the first screen, the app will show a list of Tournaments and an "Add a new Tournament" Button.

Pressing the Button will navigate to a screen with Labels and TextFields for the user to fill in.

Pressing on an item in the list of Tournaments should show the same screen, but with the previously defined elements already filled in.

I've been searching, but clearly I haven't figured out the correct search terms, because I can't find how to do this in SwiftUI. I feel like it was pretty straightforward in UIKit.....

Any ideas?

you just initialise the State which your textfields are bound to in a custom init or in .OnAppear

take a look at this:

Thanks! I knew it should be easy. I don't know why I struggled to find the answer myself.
