Show Variable Name when field is unanswered and not embedded in logic#264

In my coding, I often am adding logic when I anticipate a field may be left unanswered. Either the user doesn’t have the information yet and has skipped over it, or they just missed it. In that case, I create “if not answered” logic and have a blank line highlighted in yellow printed during assembly. For the builder, this is time consuming. For the end user, it sometimes is not clear what should go in that blank when they want to come back directly to the saved document, rather than assemble it again. (Perhaps they have manually customized some of the language after assembly.)

Is there a way that you could add a feature where the builder could enter a value in the variable settings that would be inserted during assembly if that variable is not answered. For example, there is already a “default value” in the variable settings, where you can select a default answer. Could we also have an “unanswered value”?

In addition, in the case where you might want to have the actual variable name (or any other customized default unanswered value) printed in all cases where variables are unanswered, perhaps it could be a setting offered in the Settings tab of the workflow itself.
