@milanholemans isn't it possible to set default value for a column on a list using
m365 spo field set --webUrl "https://tenanttocheck.sharepoint.com/sites/PnPDemo2" --listTitle "aaa" --title "aaa" --DefaultValue "bbb"

[milanholemans]

It's not about setting a default field value, but about setting a folder default value on a list. In the UI, you can do it over here:

It's related to #6404
