So I have a Choice field being populated from a pre-defined list of options. In the same source as the list of options, I also have a field do mark which of those are default options. I’ve created a Query column that pulls the Default Option IDs in to one row and also a Joined List that can be used. But it seems like the Default Value field in the Form screen can only handle one default option. Is there any way around this? ---

Do you have Select Multiple enabled on the choice component? If you do you should be able to use the joined list as the default value. ---

Hi, yes I do! I have it set to the Radio button option. But it doesn’t seem to want to allow the multiple defaults in there. Here is a picture of it. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/8/b/8b560ca4f8de1c86723be5b0a0e4ed68fb41bda8.jpeg) ---

Can you show what the joined list column value looks like? ---

Sure! ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/f/3/f339a35424b132572e18bbf616c2585b17e18b8b.png) This is the joined list that sits in the table the Form is using (inherited from the next screen back). It’s derived from the column next to it which is a Query column that queries the Table that holds what weapon is attached to what unit. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/1/4/14d8ae518a14a08a53eae471ff93d0c6ad08bb32.png) True source of the data is the Is\_Default field. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/9/396d16b71ecaf7e290e039f06c9b51ee6d5d39fe.png) Is this what you were talking about? ---

Check your joined list and make sure there is no space after the comma delimiter. ---

Oh yes it looks like there is a space there. How would I go about removing the space? Would that space stop them from working as defaults? ---

Yeah it could make a difference. ‘Item’ is not the same as ’ Item’. Just edit your joined list column and remove any spaces after the delimiter. ---

> [@Gebby](#): > > Would that space stop them from working as defaults? It’s because Glide writes your choice without the space after the comma. Hence when you set the default as “Plasma pistol - standard, Plasma pistol - supercharge, Artificer crozius”, only “Plasma pistol - standard” is picked up, subsequent elements have a space before it so they are not mapped to the actual choice. ---

This is exactly what the issue was and it’s now working perfectly. Thank you so much both. ---
