Thanks to all that replied. The solution was the following:
1. Create my soft type of CN (net.steelcase.na.EngineeringChangeNotice)
2. Edit the soft type and hide theChangeNoticeComplexity from all Create UIs.
3. Set the default value in the Default Values tab.
4. Modify the OIR for EngineeringChangeNotice:
<attributevalues objtype="com.example.NewChangeNotice">
…
<attrvalue id="theChangeNoticeComplexity" algorithm="wt.rule.algorithm.EnumTypeConstant">
<arg>wt.change2.ChangeNoticeComplexity</arg>
<arg>COMPLEX</arg>
</attrvalue>
…
</attributevalues>
