I did this by creating a separate field with the text filled by a "Default value". The user could easily delete or modify it as needed.

Noob here...I am trying to create a custom content type that gives my client the option to include, or not, a snippet of default text with the node.

The content type is for a job posting, and I would like to include formatted text that includes links to the employment application with additional text. Although 99% of the postings will need this text to fill out the application, there are a couple scenarios where it would not be appropriate, like training sessions, etc.
