 * Hi WC Fields Factory,
 * How do I set a checkbox or radio button to be checked upon opening the page? 
   I figured this is what “Default Options: Enter default selected option” is for,
   but I can’t figure out how to use it, and I don’t see any documentation on it.
   I tried putting the value, name, and id in there, and nothing worked.
 * Thanks,
    Brendan

 * Hi sorry for the lack of documentation.
 * Yes you are right thats what `Default Options` for. Here is how you should do.
 * For example you have a radio button group with the following options
 *     ```
       red|Red
       blue|Blue
       ```
   
 * and you want to make blue as default option. then on your `Default Options` field
   put `blue|Blue` ( you need to put both key as well as value ). and this is applicable
   for `Radio`, `Check Box` & `Select` Field too.
 * Regards
    Sark
