Is it possible to specify a default body Text for a Custom post type?

For example I have a CPT called Cards I want the body to always say "Click Here to Open [Post Title]" This is because my Theme pulls the post title and body copy through into my Search results page and displays in a grid but this particular CPT doesn't actually have any content so the search is just pulling through the title which breaks the layout.

Thanks!

Hello,

There isn't such kind of feature within Toolset, you might consider custom codes, for example, use WP action hook save_post to trigger a PHP function:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/save_post/

In this PHP function, check the post body is empty, then setup the default text:
