Can I have tokens with constant values in Dashboard Studio?

I'm working on building non production dashboard for our app with Dashboard Studio. I want to have some values in my queries set via a token so I can easily modify the value when I copy the dashboard to production.
I have some success with a text input to save the value for me, and trying to set the token value without a input. I have find  this page which talk about I can set default values for tokens, but it seems don't work. Is there anyway to do it?

Working version with input:
