If you want to set it on the page you could listen to the page published event to modify the value, you could also add a new field that overrides the standard robot values and [give that field a default value](https://forum.litium.com/t/can-i-add-a-default-value-for-a-field-on-a-page-type/115/2).

The new fields description should clearly state that it overrides any other robots value if it has a value is specified.
