Hello @Avidan Izaks

Currently it's not possible.

From the docs

Required fields, default values and more custom field types and options coming soon.

Hi @Avidan Izaks , 

You can now add default values to custom fields in Next-gens, go into project settings and expand the field card and you will see default values setting for the majority of the field types.

Soon users will also be able to set default values on the Description field as well, which is a long standing and highly requested feature.

Regards,

Nate

Are default values for date custom fields anywhere on the next gen roadmap?
