# workflows versions defaults create

## Synopsis

### Create Workflow Defaults

```shell
omics workbench workflows versions defaults create [DEFAULT_ID]
[--namespace=NAMESPACE]
[--workflow=WORKFLOW_ID]
[--version=VERSION_ID]
[--name=NAME]
[--engine=ENGINE]
[--provider=PROVIDER]
[--region=REGION]
[--values=VALUES]
```

## Description

The `defaults` commands allow you to create, describe, update, list, and delete workflow defaults for a given workflow version. Workflow defaults simplify the process of supplying inputs by providing common configuration values.

### Create Workflow Defaults

Create a new set of workflow defaults for a given workflow version. The defaults include configuration values that can be used across different backends, regions, or execution engines.

## Examples

Create workflow defaults for a given workflow and version, with a generated ID:

```shell
omics workbench workflows versions defaults create --workflow my-workflow-id --version v1 --name my-default-name --values '{"input1": "value1"}'
```

Create workflow defaults with a specific engine and region:

```shell
omics workbench workflows versions defaults create --workflow my-workflow-id --version v1 --name my-default-name --engine engine-id --region us-east-1 --values '{"input1": "value1"}'
```

Create workflow defaults with a specific ID:

```shell
omics workbench workflows versions defaults create my-default-id --workflow my-workflow-id --version v1 --name my-default-name --values '{"input1": "value1"}'
```

Create workflow defaults by loading values from a JSON file:

```shell
omics workbench workflows versions defaults create --workflow my-workflow-id --version v1 --name my-default-name --values @defaults.json
```

Create workflow defaults using key-value syntax:

```shell
omics workbench workflows versions defaults create --workflow my-workflow-id --version v1 --name my-default-name --values foo=bar
```

## Flags:

### `--namespace`=`STRING`

An optional flag to define the namespace to connect to. By default, the namespace is extracted from the user's credentials.

### `--workflow`=`STRING`

The ID of the workflow to which the defaults will be added.

### `--version`=`STRING`

The ID of the workflow version to which the defaults will be added.

### `--name`=`STRING`

The name for the workflow defaults. This is a required property.

### `--engine`=`STRING`

The selector to use when creating the defaults. This can be used to target a specific execution engine.

### `--provider`=`STRING`

The provider selector to use when creating the defaults. This helps in specifying the backend provider.

### `--region`=`STRING`

The region selector to use when creating the defaults. This helps in specifying the region for execution.

### `--values`=`JSON`

The configuration values to use when creating the defaults. This must be a non-empty JSON object that contains key-value pairs for the workflow inputs.
