In gravity forms you can select a default open for a dropdown which works on normal dropdown fields, but if I "Populate with a Taxonomy" and then check a default option, after saving the form it resets to the default option.
My goal is for my client to be able to pick a custom taxonomy as default and make the field an admin only field to populate a post with that taxonomy without the user needing to select anything.
"Field Choices
Add Choices to this field. You can mark each choice as checked by default by using the radio/checkbox fields on the left."
Thanks!
