Thanks for the reply 🙂 yes that was my thought too, the only other way I could think of is to have a column in every document library and each retention option albeit choice or MMS terms are mapped to a retention label the the KQL builder, but i dont really want to do that!
At least with your suggestion you kind of force the user to make a different choice if they dont like the default.

Just make sure your default label is secure enough. That way you can be rest assured that all documents will be saved.- thank you 🙂
Do you have any recommended link for getting started with applying default labels to all content in 365?- check this out https://joannecklein.com/2019/07/26/auto-apply-retention-labels-in-office-365-using-content-types-and-metadata/.
Also be careful when talking about labels, there are many different kinds, Retention and Sensitivity labels have very different implementation rules.
