radio/select-fields & pre selecting

indeed, we added the select field in for existing items and the default value is only used for the new items.

i guess, here is no workaround (except going into phpmyadmin)

Actually for text field there is a parameter

"Default usage"

in which you can define that value is to be used instead of empty (when the field's display is created)

i guess this parameter could be added to select field too, but currently it is not available
