   I would like to have a picklist displayed with a default value. How can that be done?
   
   Use case in short: the default value should trigger the rules manager to hide fields, which are only required once the default value is changed.

   Hi Eva,
   
   You can use the following code sample to set a default value to pick list when form loads. Please add a javascript widget to your form, place the code below after changing the pick list developer name, and set the placement by the body closing tag.
    
   
   $(window).load(function()
   {
   var picklistvalue=$find($(".CrmPicklist_C022").attr("id")).get_value();
   
   if(picklistvalue=="")
   {
   $find($(".CrmPicklist_C022").attr("id")).set_value(put here the numeric value number from CRM of the desired default option value from your options sets);
   }
   });
   
   
   After you have placed the code on the form, you need to use a rule manager where you can simply set the criteria about what to do when option set field value change and​ which section you would like to hide.
