How do I set a default value for my form field? (es-la)

Last updated: April 10, 2025

Follows the steps below to set a default value for a form field. This is useful when a form field is not required (so the user does not need to complete the field to submit the form) or the field is hidden (meaning that you set a property value via the form submission, but the user cannot see that field on the form).

  • Navigate to Contacts > Forms
  • Click on the name of the form that you want to edit or create a new form
  • Hover over the field that you want to set a default value for > click the pencil symbol
    • If the property is a single-line text, date picker, or number field, you will see a Default Value section where you can type your value
    • If the property is a drop-down or radio select field, you will see a list under Property Options; select the radio select button to the left of the desired default value (in the 'Selected' column)
    • If the property is multi-select checkbox or single off/on checkbox field, there will be a check-box or group of check-boxes, whichyou can select as the default value(s)
  • Click Save form when your changes are complete

Now if a contact does not fill out the field in question when submitting your form, the default value will be set on the contact's behalf.
