The description of the “default” attribute of the select widget is subtle:

> Default value to be used if the tiddler, field or index specifies a missing 
> value

So, what the attribute does is provide the value to be displayed by the select 
widget if the tiddler/field/index is missing.

Setting the select widget to a particular value is accomplished by assigning 
that value to the tiddler field/index that is bound to the widget. So, you’d 
need to explicitly assign the right value to that field/index in order to 
select the default that you want.

Best wishes

Jeremy
