How to set default column values in apex?

Starboard PortAug 23 2016 — edited Aug 24 2016

New to apex, using apex 5. I don't see a way to set column default values using the new table progression, or via the modify columns feature that is found in the object explorer?

I know there are ways to set default values at the UI layer but what about db column layer?

Triggers would be an option, but given that apex allows one to implement a lot of complex stuff via the wizards or whatever these design time 'progressions' inside apex, it seems odd to me that something as core to dbs as default values has been left to wire up by hand?
