We need option for default value for Link filed types. When you add a Link field to existing model and this link field is referencing the same record, then you need to update all model references manually, which can take a lot of time. The default value would save lots of time.
This would be a huge +. We have fields present on all models, like Header and Footer, that are references to other models. Having these set to a default header and footer entry would be ideal, as authors often forget to add headers and footers to their pages, or aren’t sure which ones to use.
+1. Default values for links would enable very powerful data modelling options
+1 for this feature!
Would it help at all if I made an example plugin that could do this?
But it would only work inside the DatoCMS UI, like when an editor is making records manually, and not when you’re creating or updating records via API. (It’s a limitation of our plugins system; they only work clientside in the browser.)

I have a need for this @roger. Would definitely be curious to see an example plugin.
