Dropdown fields now support configurable default values that are pre-selected when the step loads but remain fully editable by the customer. You define the default per field so forms open with a sensible initial option, minimizing clicks on common paths.

The default behaves like any user-selected value: if the customer doesn’t change it, that value is stored on submit; if they do select another option, the new choice replaces the default immediately. This ensures downstream evaluations receive a concrete value without requiring extra interaction. Defaults are applied at render time only (there’s no locking or auto-reversion) so customers retain full control to override before submitting.
