Default text for Properties with blank value

I have developed some extensive Properties over the two years, plus, I have been using Aeon Timeline 3 and this feature request has only just occurred to me. But it would make a big difference. For text properties in particular, it would be really useful to have a default value for properties yet to have data added. So, for Inciting Incident the default text (greyed out ideally until the user fills out the field) could be: What event knocks the protagonist’s life out of balance? This would provide a useful reminder as to what each of the properties requires; basically a comment to stimulate thought etc. Much like Scrivener has a default value setting for some of its custom metadata. It doesn’t need to only apply to text properties though. It could also apply to lists of values etc, if there is generally a value which is used more than others by the user.

Thanks
