Set default text in a multi line text area profile field

Hello,

I am trying to set a default text (value) in a multi line text area profile field with field_id=5.
Something like ‘Apparently, this user prefers to keep an air of mystery about them.’

The user can, if he wants, just delete the text and write his own. But i am not sure if there is a bp_xprofile_field hook that i could use for that, so that the text is there by default in the first place.

Any help would be appreciated.

By something like this i have managed to set a default text-value when the field is empty after saving.
```
function default_value ( $user_id ) {
    $default_text = xprofile_get_field_data( 4, $user_id );
    if (empty($default_text)) {
        xprofile_set_field_data( 4, $user_id, "Apparently, this user prefers to keep an air of mystery about them.");
    } 
}

add_action( 'xprofile_updated_profile', 'default_value');
```
Which is good.

But i need also to have the field set with the default value from the very start when the field is being created for the user.So i guess i would need to use some othen action or hook for that?

Any help would be appreciated.
