Is it possible to set a default value for Azure DevOps service connections in build tasks?

I want to implement a custom build task in Azure DevOps for my project. We have for each environment an own subscriptions and one environment-independent subscription. The new task should have the environment-independent one as default.

Here is the relevant code from the task.json.

"inputs": [
        {
            "name": "ConnectedServiceName",
            "type": "ConnectedService:AzureRM",
            "label": "Azure Subscription",
            "required": true,
            "defaultValue": "4893b32-2345-ab54-b13d-1294cab34",
            "groupName": "CredentialsSelection"
        },

The problem is, that the service endpoint id, which I have specified is ignored. The same behavior occurs, if I specify the name of the service connection endpoint. Does anybody know if there is a way to specify the default value?

Now, it was possible to set the default value by using the service connection id. The task needed some time to make the changes available. I don't know why, because I deleted the task before I deployed the new version. But now it works.

As D.J. mentioned, a default value only makes sense if the task is internal and only used within an organization.
