Set default value for “Additional CSS class(es)” for specific block types

For the columns block type, I’d like to add in a default value of wp-block-columns--padded in the “Additional CSS class(es)” field, the idea being that the user could remove or modify the class as needed (i.e. removing it to disable all padding, changing it wp-block-columns--padded-extra for additional padding, etc.). Is it possible to do this via a filter or something similar? I did look in to wp.hooks.addFilter, but that didn’t allow the user to edit the classes that I added.

UnitControl – Block has encountered an error

I am trying to use UnitControl in my custom Gutenberg block to define the line-height of text. I receive the “This block has encountered an error and cannot be previewed” when I try to access the block in the WordPress editor. I am unsure what is causing this error. I’ve even tried removing references to the UnitControl in the return and save such as lineHeight:headlineSpacing to see if it would stop flagging the error. It still gives me the error so I am unsure if I am using UnitControl correctly at all or if perhaps I’ve made a mistake in the <UnitControl> element.
