Initialize field in base class 
Is this valid?  If not, is there a way to do something like this where I can initialize a field in a parent class with a const in a child class?

valuetype MyBaseValueType  {
    public string  member;
};

valuetype MyValueType:
MyBaseValueType  {
    public const string member2 = "Member Name";
    member = member2; 
};

valuetype Message: MyValueType{
    public long data;
};

You can try the @default annotation to set a default value for a field:

 

struct Test {

@default("Hello") string str;

@default(43) int32 value;

};
