In Symfony, you can set default values for properties in an entity by setting the default value directly in the property definition or by using a constructor to set the default value.

Here's an example of setting the default value directly in the property definition:

// src/Entity/Product.php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\ProductRepository")
 */
class Product
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id()
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue()
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255)
     */
    private $name;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer", options={"default" : 0})
     */
    private $quantity = 0;
}

In this example, the quantity property is set to have a default value of 0. This is done by adding the options key with a value of {"default" : 0} to the @ORM\Column annotation.

Alternatively, you can set the default value in the constructor:

// src/Entity/Product.php

namespace App\Entity;

use Doctrine\ORM\Mapping as ORM;

/**
 * @ORM\Entity(repositoryClass="App\Repository\ProductRepository")
 */
class Product
{
    /**
     * @ORM\Id()
     * @ORM\GeneratedValue()
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="string", length=255)
     */
    private $name;

    /**
     * @ORM\Column(type="integer")
     */
    private $quantity;

    public function __construct()
    {
        $this->quantity = 0;
    }
}
In this example, the quantity property is set to have a default value of 0 in the constructor. Note that you don't need to specify the default value in the @ORM\Column annotation when setting the default value in the constructor.
