Angular - How can i set default value base on a model property

I have the following todo template. I want to set the default property 'edited' equal to false if the 'todo' does not have an '_id'. Note todo is a json object and the object does not have an _id. 

<div class="item" ng-class="{'editing-item': editing, 'edited': todo.edited, 'completed': todo.completed}" ng-repeat="todo in todos | orderBy: 'completed' " ng-init="todo.completed = false">
  <input type="checkbox" ng-model="todo.completed" />
  <span ng-click="todo.completed = !todo.completed; todo.edited = true"></span>
  <label ng-hide="editing" ng-click="editing=true">{{todo.name}}</label>
  <input ng-show="editing" ng-blur="editing = false" class="editing-label" type="text" ng-model="todo.name" ng-change="todo.edited = true"/>
  <div class="actions">
    <a href="" ng-click="saveTodos()">Save</a>
    <a href="" class="delete" ng-click="deleteTodo(todo, $index)">Delete</a>
  </div>
</div>
