🔧 MDM Master Record Creation – Setting Default Field Values on Open | Need Help / Workaround

Use Case: When clicking "Create" in MDM master record creation, I want certain fields to be pre-filled with default/placeholder values the moment the record detail view opens — before the user manually enters anything.

Scenario (CDI Example): In our setup, some fields are common across both Customer Types. The goal is to have these shared fields auto-populated with sensible defaults as soon as the creation screen loads — improving data consistency and reducing manual effort.
 

What I've tried / What I'm looking for:

• ✅ Is there a Workflow Step triggered at record creation (not save) where default values can be injected?
• ✅ Can a Plan File be used to define these default values at screen load?
• ✅ Any supported configuration or workaround to achieve pre-population on the Create event?

Screenshots attached for reference:

• Field layout on the record detail view
• Highlighted common fields across Customer Types
