Every cell type on a board now supports a default value that is applied to newly created tasks. No more typing the same starter values dozens of times.

What is new

• Default value entry in the column header menu, available across:
• Text — preset string
• Number — preset number, respects the column's number formatting
• Date and Date range — preset dates
• Checkbox — preset checked / unchecked
• Clock — preset duration
• Country — preset country with flag
• Link — preset URL with optional label
• Dropdown — preset option
• People — preset assignee
• Status / Priority / Label — preset label
• Live sync — change a default in one tab and other open boards update over WebSocket without a refresh.
• Validated — the API rejects defaults whose shape does not match the column type.
• Non-destructive — defaults apply only to new tasks, never to existing ones.

Why it is useful

A board is the same shape every day; the same defaults belong on it every day. Configuring them once removes a long tail of small frictions when adding new tasks, and keeps boards more consistent across users.
