 * Is there a way to add the default value of a text input area? so far it only 
   allows for the actual typing but I want to have a value auto populate so the 
   person would not have to enter it themselves

 * Hi,
 * Thank you for your feedback. Based on it, we have just released a new update 
   which has option to add default value in text fields. Let me know if this solves
   your problem.
 * Do not forget to update to version 1.3.8
 * Cheers!

 * I have just tried using version 1.4.1, but I can’t see how to reset the default
   value of a ‘country’ field. Currently it shows United States as default value.
   How can I change the default value to ‘Netherlands’? [](http://p2p4u.nl)

 * Ha – I found it. Look in the folder YrDomain\wp-content\plugins\custom-registration-
   form-builder-with-submission-manager and read the file country_option_list.php
   into your favorite text edit program (e.g. notepad). Look at line no. 231 (option
   value united states) and delete ‘selected’ from the code. If you want to choose
   another country as default value, you can add ‘selected’ to the code in the line
   no. of the country you want as default value. Then save the file after editing
   it and there you go….

 * Thanks for posting this trick for other who may want to do it too. Will try to
   add this as an option in dashboard in future updates.
 * Cheers!
