How to make a specific option on a field default

Posted on by 82

Hi All 

I have a field on a form called method /incoming communication channel  which in this case must  default to Email every time it is used .

I have created the data type of this field as an Multiselect option and filed type as simple. I could also  created this as an option set 

 The options I have are : Communication

                                      Email

                                      Instagram

                                       Letter

What I would like is every time the actual form is opened it defaults to the Method =Email  how do I do this ?

By default on method it must be on Email ?

    Hi rodzmaz81,

    Yes, the option set field has ‘Default Value’ column to select one value you need as default value in the Field Setting dialog.
