Most of what I've seen to try to do this isn't to set a default, it's to
make it happen invisibly. For example, this:

class ArticleAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
    exclude = ('member',)
    def save_model(self, request, obj, form, change):
        obj.member = request.user
        obj.save()

But looking at the doc, save_formset might do what you want:
