The usual pattern is to use a default record, and specialize it:
data Foo = Foo { bar :: Int, baz :: Int, quux :: Int }
fooDefault = Foo { bar = 1, baz = 2, quux = 3 }
newRecord = fooDefault { quux = 42 }
If you only want some of the fields to be defaulted, you can make them
undefined in the default record... unfortunately this won't be checked by
the compiler.
