 ## Syntax
 
 ```caddy-d
-header [<matcher>] [[+|-]<field> [<value>|<find>] [<replace>]] {
+header [<matcher>] [[+|-|?]<field> [<value>|<find>] [<replace>]] {
 	<field> <find> <replace>
 	[+]<field> <value>
 	-<field>
+	?<field> <default_value>
 	[defer]
 }
 ```
 
 - **&lt;field&gt;** is the name of the header field. By default, will overwrite any existing field of the same name. Prefix with `+` to add the field instead of replace, or prefix with `-` to remove the field.
 - **&lt;value&gt;** is the header field value, if adding or setting a field.
+- **&lt;default_value&gt;** is the header field value that will be set only if the header does not already exist.
 - **&lt;find&gt;** is the substring or regular expression to search for.
 - **&lt;replace&gt;** is the replacement value; required if performing a search-and-replace.
 - **defer** will force the header operations to be deferred until the response is written out to the client. This is automatically enabled if any of the header fields are being deleted.
