Hi, Is there a way that when creating a new attribute the default value is changed for all the documents already created since this is set to null

TL;DR
The user wants to change the default value for already created documents in Appwrite. However, Appwrite does not provide a feature to backfill this data automatically. Therefore, the user needs to manually update the default value for each document. This will resolve conflicts such as null values.

For example, I set the default value to 0 and the documents already created are saved as null, creating conflicts

Appwrite doesn't backfill data. You'll have to do that yourself
