I have never played much with Writelog's exchange fields except for
eliminating unnecessary fields so I found Wayne's post on its other
settings interesting.
For the ARRL 160m contest you could set the field to require an entry
and then create a section multiplier called DX so you have something
to enter when you work DX. I assume that the majority of stations
worked have actual sections so this would not add much typing over the
contest. Then you would have to delete "DX" text from the cabrillo
file. Perhaps just using an alias section mult "DX= " would create a
cabrillo file not needing editing.

The 160 contest does not require an exchange for DX stations. WL
won't let you enter anything that is not a recognized section name.
So you end up leaving the exchange field blank for DX. I suspect this
is the reason the 160 contest defaults this way. If you set it to
required, you would have trouble logging DX stations.
