 property Object.name
 ```
 **NOTE**: Bash doesn't have a typing system, so you cannot set property types.
+You can also set default values by adding a property after the declaration, e.g:
+```bash
+property Object.name "Example"
+```
 
 Class functions are declared the same way you would in bash, except it uses a prefix with object type. For example:
