request_* in a submit file turns into Request* attributes on a job ad. You can use SUBMIT_EXPRS to set a default if you like.

In condor_config.local:

   RequestMemory = 123
   SUBMIT_EXPRS = RequestMemory

And all your jobs will start with RequestMemory = 123, unless request_memory is specified in a submit file.

Best,
