Aircraft X; a PDC clearance aircraft was given 'climb via the SID except maintain 2000' instead of just 'Climb via the SID' on the drop down menu at the CD position. When Aircraft X departed; the aircraft was below the minimum vectoring altitude. This was a fat finger mistake. Although; that option is no longer used anymore so it should have not been there at all.Remove the climb via the SID except maintain 2000 from the drop down menu on the clearance delivery position.
SNA Tower Controller reported using a Pre Departure Clearance function in error which caused the aircraft to be below the Minimum Vectoring Altitude.
