I’m in the middle of a big parts job and I seem to be setting the Rest position property for most whole bar cue rests to -4 (or if the cue stems point downwards, +4). Obviously if I’ve recorded a couple of macros to speed this up, but, for instance, I can only edit the positions en masse of rests under/above a single cue, so it feels a bit laborious.
Might it be possible to add some sort of default position specifically for whole bar rests above/below cues, pretty please?

I’ll definitely second this. +4 and -4 are common entries for me. I do believe there’s technically settings in Notation Options which dictates this behavior in multi-voice writing, which to me should be the same behavior with cues, but Dorico seems more conservative with rest positioning of cues.
In related news, I’ve just noticed that, if I’ve searched the properties panel so that the Rest pos. property isn’t shown, my macro doesn’t work. I’m sure there’s a logical reason for this, but it’s a little irritating given macros (or keyboard shortcuts or whatever) can set properties when the properties panel is hidden.
