Default value of field (appearance = hidden) not populating

[dsinha]

Hello, I have a select_one field (called Status) in my form with appearance = hidden. I have also set default = Received.

However, when I submit a record through the form, the Status field remains empty.

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks!

A couple thoughts:  1) Is there relevancy on that field?  2)how is your list set up for the select one.  Check you are setting your default equal to the Name on your list and not the Label.

Thanks @Neal_t_k. It was the second solution. I had it set to the label.

If it is hidden I would try the calculation column instead.  I have seen stuff like this on read only also.

Thanks @DougBrowning. I will keep that in mind.
