Label defaultValue

Please add the defaultValue option to the label setting for child apps.

Why: allows user code to generate an accurate child app name. It may be overridden by the user.

History: It works in ST, although apparently undocumented.

Other: The description option works, but it generates background only text.

Example
label title: "Profile name", defaultValue: "Profile: ${thecontact?.displayName}", required: true

Having this would be nice.
In the meantime you can code this in. I use the following code in my ABC app (similar versions for my other parent/child apps).

def initialize() {
    if(!app.label || app.label == "default")app.updateLabel(defaultLabel())
}

def defaultLabel() {
	return "${buttonDevice} Mapping"
}

Thank you this is working for me.

label title: "Profile name", defaultValue: "Delay: ${thecontact?.displayName}", 
       description: "Delay: ${thecontact?.displayName}", required: true
if(!app.label)app.updateLabel("Contact: "+thecontact?.displayName)
