<p>I am using redactor plugin for my field type and I want to use global values of the same field type to be used as pre-fill value when creating a new entry.</p>

Thanks a lot!

This functionality could be created in a plugin or module, but why wouldn't you **duplicate** the entry and change the fields you need to change?
