Default value on dynamically populated dropdown?

    I've got a form with a bunch of dropdowns (10 of them) which I dynamically populate by taxonomies.

    The problem I got is that there seems to be no way to actually choose one of the taxonomy terms with it's value as selected by default. If I try to do this and saves the form, instead of the actual term being selected a duplicated choice with no value is created. (Doing this at the admin page for GF).

    How do I get around this? Do I have to do this by filters (not to fun with that many fields)?

    Unfortunately, the only way I know of to do what you want is through the use of filters. Either by making a non-choice default to what you want, or by filtering before displaying so that it is the default.

    I have the same need--value gets replaced. Do you have an example of how to filter and assign a value?
