Default value for EA?

MT 4.12

What is the best approach for assigning a MetaTagger-controlled value to an EA? For example, I have facetName="ABC.entry1", with vocabulary "ABCENTRY1". Say I want to automatically assign code "002" with label "Some Label" to a DCR, I was thinking of using a rule as such:

ABC Rule
01

ABC.entry1

ABCENTRY1
002
Some Label

Is this the right approach? Or do I need a proper condition? If so, what is the condition so that this rule applies to all records?

More importantly, is this the right approach (using a rule)?

Lastly, if I already have a number of existing records and I am adding this new EA, which is controlled by MetaTagger, what is the best approach for applying this same default value to all existing records? Can a rule be run in bulk against all existing records?

Thanks for the input.

Ok, no responses yet... let me phrase it another way:

Is it possible to auto-populate a MetaTagger-controlled value?

You will need a non-null condition. The easiest way is to create a Javascript plugin using the "Cooking with MetaTagger Plugins" sample files. I think the entire script will be a single line:

metadata.addDescriptorToFacet("ABC.entry1, "ABCENTRY1, "002", "Some Label");
