Initializing inherited structs in Bond

I have a Bond schema that (ideally speaking) would have some inherited fields:

struct Context
{
    10: required string thing;
    20: required string otherthing;
};

struct SampleEvent : Context
{
    20: required wstring evt;
};

and when I create my derived object (SampleEvent) I can do so like this:

        SampleEvent evt = new SampleEvent { evt = str };

but where can I set up initialization of the Context fields?

The base's fields are inherited and can be set in the same way as the derived's fields:

var evt = new SampleEvent {
    evt = str,
    thing = "thing1",
    otherthing = "thing2"
};

If you want to do this in a centralized place, I'd write a helper method. The generated code is partial, so you can use that functionality to add methods to the generated classes. You could also use extension methods, or a plain-old helper static method that's a factory for instances.
