  Modify Ranges: If necessary, you can modify the ranges for the characteristic to include the default value, but be cautious as this may affect other queries or reports.
  Revalidate Queries: After making changes, revalidate any queries or reports that use this characteristic to ensure they function correctly with the new settings.
