I know that from Django 1.7 I don\'t need to use South or any other migration system, so I am just using simple command python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py makemigrations
You can use method from Django Doc from this page https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/models/fields/#default
Create default and use it
def contact_default(): return {"email": "to1@example.com"} contact_info = JSONField("ContactInfo", default=contact_default)
