what i have been doing is explicitly passing a `default config` object to the job which will populate the launchpad But it becomes a a fair bit of config to pass in if i m using e g a snowflake resource i can see the other side where the gradual typing helps reduce the amount of config users see immediately and avoid showing mutually exclusive config information

hi < Stephen Bailey> the scaffold missing config button still exists but it only scaffolds config values that are required so if you have default values then the scaffolding will just leave those fields alone This is a good point though it might be nice to have a secondary option to scaffold missing config that scaffolds default values Created an issue here

Only somewhat related to scaffolding but there are also ways to provide some config at definition time in code which can help a bit with the boilerplate problem <https docs dagster io concepts configuration configured using configured>
