The field editor just grabs the current value of the field being edited. If
you want to override it take a look at this lesson:

http://lessons.runrev.com/spaces/lessons/manuals/datagrid/lessons/10101-How-Can-I-Edit-The-Text-as-UTF-8-UTF-16-or-HTML-

You can change the default value by setting one fo the dgTemplateFieldEditor
properties. Look at htmltext, text, utf8text and unicodetext under
"Template Field Editor Properties" in the proeprties docs:
