Have a look at TSref --> stdWrap --> ifEmpty
This can be combined with a cObject.

Something like

10 = COA
10 {
    10 = TEXT
    10.field = title
    stdWrap.ifEmpty.cObject = COA
    stdWrap.ifEmpty.cObject {
        10 = TEXT
        10.value = whatever
    }
}

will give you "whatever" each time the field "title" is empty.
Modify this to your needs and you will get it without any condition.
