Populate all pages with default value for new field

[petemolinero]

I'm thinking through the impact of adding fields to a blueprint on an existing site, and have a question. Here's a contrived scenario:

Let's say I have a pages collection with 100 entries in it. Then one day I decide I want to add a rating text field to the pages blueprint; it will have a default value of 3/5. So I add the field, and I add {{ rating }} to my pages template to display the rating. I go to my pages, and nothing is rendered—because none of the pages have a value for rating yet.

Now, if I go in and edit a page, I see that the default 3/5 is populated in the field—so if I save it, the page will now have the default value. Makes sense.

But, is there a simple way to propagate default values to all entries after creating a new field without having to go and save them all one at a time?

Yup.
