Feature Request Required/Default Object Variables

Unless I've missed it, there doesn't seem to be a way to set "required" variables for a graph. Or, variables that are required to be set in the variables component for a graph to work that are auto-added on new instances of the graph.

An example of this would be making a macro script machine, setting your object variables names/type/value, and building your graph. And then using this macro on another object, but when you add the graph, the variables set is empty - requiring you to re-add your object variables, which is a moderately complicated graph, can be taxing. You can create a preset of the variables, or copy/paste the values from one object to another - but it seems logical to all have this done for you, saving time.

Proposed change: When adding an object variable to a graph on the blackboard, give an option to also set the variable to be required or auto-added anytime this graph is added to an object - with a default value/type supplied.

noted an example here https://forum.unity.com/threads/assign-graph-data-inputs-in-the-inspector.1164971/#post-7977693

I need to pass an object into the graph, the equivalent of eg

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. // exposed field (graph input)
3. [SerializeField] private Collider collider;
4.  
5. // operation on input
6. DoSomethingTo(collider.gameObject);
7.  

 

What if the object has two or more graphs that set a variable with the same name but different types and different default values? Or even the same type, but different values?
