Nope. Lookes like default-value, when a default-value is taken from an
item. In your property-sheep, write
in the RANGE-HIGH and RANGE-LOW properties:
:block.field
where the above is the field containing the values for high and low values.
But, my guess is, that a dynamic changeable range-value is best implemented via the WHEN-VALIDATE-ITEM trigger.
