I am adding a new custom field to a custom post type. It will have a default value of “no”. How do I get all existing records of this specific custom post type to have this new default value? Thank you in advance for your help.

Short of setting this value in every post by updating them all, there really is not a way to do this.

If it’s a true/false field then there will be no difference between false and not being set.

What type of field is it?
