I completely overlooked the fact that in column mode editing an item
with no properties creates those properties.
Thats 90% of the way there.
Is there a way to specify a default?
Hmmm. In principle there is, because you can make a property
use inheritance and define a default for the inheritance, just like
Bernt has shown
in his example for the EFFORT_ALL property.
However, since the EFFORT property is a summary property, I think
inheritance would be a problem.
So the answer is no there is no good way to define a default value. I
will put some thought into this, to see if this could be done in a
useful way.
Maybe you can use a template to insert new entries with the property
already defined?

So I'm setting up a sample project using column view to experiment

I've noticed that I'm duplicating my property drawer manually, and

curious if there is a way to setup a default property drawer for new
items or a new todo hook I can tap into.
If you use column view (C-c C-x C-c) and enter durations it creates
property drawers in tasks that don't already have them.
There's also a function org-insert-property-drawer.
I've got the following setup:
(setq org-global-properties '(("Effort_ALL" . "0 0:10 0:30 1:00
2:00 3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00 7:00 8:00")))
(setq org-columns-default-format "%40ITEM(Task) %17Effort(Estimated
Effort){:} %CLOCKSUM")
and I just C-c C-x C-c on a parent task and use S-right to assign the
effort durations to each task.
HTH,
Bernt
