Hi @JohnP ,
if you need to have a default value please read here https://support.atlassian.com/jira-cloud-administration/docs/configure-a-custom-field/
If you need to have a pre-populated custom filed value based on some conditions, please use Behaviour provided by Script Runner.
Hope this helps,
Fabio
