What we could do is: Template: webfsd/web_port Type: string _Description: Incoming port number for webfsd: Please enter the port number for webfsd to listen to. If you leave this blank, the default port (8000) will be used. So, this way, we don't enforce having a vallue in the field....and what you want to say about 8000 being the default....is said.
