Hi there,

I created a form with a List field which hold 10 columns, out of them 3 should be a drop down, I managed to set it up with:

//set LIST question - YES/NO Questions

add\_filter(“gform\_column\_input\_1\_5\_4”, “set\_column\_does\_representive”, 10, 5);  
function set\_column\_does\_representive($input\_info, $field, $column, $value, $form\_id){  
return array(“type” =\> “select”, “choices” =\> array(  
array(“text”=\>“Yes”, “value”=\>“1”),  
array(“text”=\>“NO”, “value”=\>“0”)  
));  
}

it works fine BUT once I open a new row, there is no default value within the drop down (check image)

I tried to solve it by adding: “defaultValue” =\> “Yes” OR “default\_value” =\> “Yes” to this function but it’s not working.

Any advice ? How can I populate the new row’s drop down fields with default value ?

Thanks
