1. If you have Inventor 2018.2 or later, look into using prompted entries.

 

2. If you don't, just write a "cheat" piece of code to skip the rest of the code in the rule if you enter in a certain value, for when you save it initially.

ie;

 

     If FirstiPropFilledIn = "[ExcludeME]" THen: Exit Sub: End if
