How should default values work on drop down list

Hi All, 

    I have a field that I have set a default value to be set as "completed". However when my users create a record and select the value of "Attempted", upon save it defaults to "Completed". Is this the intent of using a default value? 

  • Hello  , 


    When you set a default value for a dropdown in Studio, it simply means that this value will be pre-selected when creating a new record — like this:



    However, if the user selects a different value, their choice should be respected and not overwritten.

    The behavior you’re describing sounds more like it’s being triggered by a logic hook or a custom BPM that’s setting the value during an after save action.

    Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Cheers,


    André
