I am trying to add a "Message Custom Field (for view)" to my project. I am able to create the custom field through the REST API, but I am unable to set the default value programmatically. Since this is a read-only field, it will not be displayed unless the default value is defined.

Workflows and status are part of Jira (even when Agile is involved). Columns are part of Agile and belong to boards.

To get your columns the same, you need to edit the configuration of the board, so that it reads and maps the new workflow.
