Default value for a select_one question type

AdamDaily

Can you take a value from a select_one question list and set one of those values as the default answer to that question? I feel like I have done this before but it is not working in my current survey. I must be putting this in wrong.

Expl: Choices are Small, Medium, Large, and I want my question to default the answer as "Small"

Jim,

Please see the attached file. I was trying to set fields "vision_light" to default "none", kickplate to default "small", bumper to "No", and thickness to "1.75"

Hi Adam, could you please provide the XLSForm for your survey so I can test? Thanks, Jim

Thanks Jim for the answer,

I wanted to confirm there wasn't something else I was missing. That is exactly what I tried (also tried with quotes when that didn't work), but the default values are not appearing in Survey Connect testing, or after publishing and downloading my survey. No default field values set for any select_one questions are coming through.

Hi Adam, the default value for a select_one can be entered in the default column in your XLSForm. In your example, enter "Small" (without quotes). Please see Prepopulate answers—Survey123 for ArcGIS | ArcGIS for more info.
