Resource Field definition - Default value type

Field definition - Default value type

Can someone provide a detailed explanation for the Default value type options at the Field definition screen for a resource element?

For our example, the element type is 'Text'. Also, there is a list of authorised values.

I couldn't locate anything within the documentation explaining the differences between the three options: 'No default value', 'Constant default value' and 'Dynamic default value'.

I am interested in the best practice, potential implications to data loads, screen definition etc.  

Thanks

No default value: Field value will be empty until it is set or comes through data load.

Constant default value: Assigned with a constant value of a string/number/date for all the records. For example, the dataSource value is CRM.

Dynamic default value: Populated automatically by a rule or system value at runtime. For example, if you want to assign a current date to the records.
