Without creating an IF ELSE column there is no way to have a default value in a column … it will be great to have a field like that.
Some use cases
-
Let’s say we have a number column and at first is empty … If I create a visibility rule to show only the records that have the value <= 9 it will not display those that are empty because when it’s empty it will not take any numeric value … so in this case, we could add a default value of 0 to every new record
-
For roles … let’s say in a users table we want to make all the users that are added, to belong automatically to a certain role group when a record is created … if we create a column that will have a value with that role added by default, then all the users could be managed by the main role without any manual work behind.
