How to contribute default fields for any cnquery resource

[scottford-io]

When running mql queries, you will find many resources display fields by default.

For example the query aws.ec2.instances executed against an aws account will return a list of aws.ec2.instance objects representing all of the ec2 instances found across all enabled regions in whatever account you are targeting. The results for that query look something like this:

cnquery> aws.ec2.instances
aws.ec2.instances: [
  0: aws.ec2.instance arn="arn:aws:ec2:us-east-1:123404375948:instance/i-0fde6c8e0210b7926" state="stopped"
  1: aws.ec2.instance arn="arn:aws:ec2:us-east-1:123404375948:instance/i-01d9ac4d0647226a4" state="stopped"
  2: aws.ec2.instance arn="arn:aws:ec2:us-east-1:123404375948:instance/i-0a2a65d7e39832744" state="stopped"
  3: aws.ec2.instance arn="arn:aws:ec2:us-east-1:123404375948:instance/i-0fc6e5e34dfdd7431" state="stopped"
  4: aws.ec2.instance arn="arn:aws:ec2:us-east-1:123404375948:instance/i-0a5f9c42a1fa33144" state="stopped"
  5: aws.ec2.instance arn="arn:aws:ec2:us-east-1:123404375948:instance/i-0a47bd6461692d1a1" state="running"
  6: aws.ec2.instance arn="arn:aws:ec2:us-east-1:123404375948:instance/i-0e04f89eeb1ec2453" state="running"
]

From the example above, you can see that the results display the values for the fields arn and state. The following video provides a quick walkthrough of how to contribute defaults for resources that might not have defaults defined, or how to suggest an update to existing defaults.
