Change all boolean values in field to TRUE

Hello,

Is there a way to set all boolean values in a standard field to be initially true?  When I set the default value to be true in the field, the checkbox remains unchecked for all entries.  How do I initially set all the boolean checkboxes to be "checked"?

One approach would be to copy a value of a cell that is checked, then select the whole column and paste the value into that column.This should result in all values being updated to true (it may take a while if you have a large table).

Another would be to define a default value of true when you create the column, and make a value required. That way all values should be initalized to true.
