Hmmm.  In principle there is, because you can make a property
use inheritance and define a default for the inheritance, just like  
Bernt has shown
in his example for the EFFORT_ALL property.

However, since the EFFORT property is a summary property, I think  
inheritance would be a problem.

So the answer is no there is no good way to define a default value.  I  
will put some thought into this, to see if this could be done in a  
useful way.

Maybe you can use a template to insert new entries with the property  
already defined?
