How to add attribute default value to pre existing products?

I created a Global Text area attribute and i added a default value into the text field. The problem that im running into is that the default value that i added is not showing up in the products that i created before i created this attribute.

Use In Search Results Layered Navigation no

Use for Promo Rule Conditions no

Position 0

Enable WYSIWYG yes

Visible on Product View Page on Front-end yes

Any suggestions?

Like i said at the beginning, i have already added the attribute set. Anyways, i found a solution to the problem..

Inside manage products, there is a action called “Update Attributes”. Select all the products that you want to update and then select Update Attributes and add all the new information in.
