Hi guys, The default value option on Single-Select fields… ![Image 2020-08-10 at 4.06.24 AM.png](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/fibery/original/2X/0/00f3fdfc8b889b861cd4475386b90a072b102117.png) is a very nice feature. It allows you to determine if you would like a tag to get picked up by each new entry, or not. **This is another feature absent in Notion!** I could really use it in the Multi-select field. I was hoping that since Multi-Select is new (released in April per below) perhaps you simply haven’t gotten to its implementation? > [@\[✔︎ DONE\] Multi-Select drop down?](https://community.fibery.io/t/done-multi-select-drop-down/580): > > Hi again guys, I have been making good use of the single-select drop down as it works well with some filters in boards I am using. I am finding a need though where I have entities I’d like to categorize using a multi-select drop down and selecting more than one option. I was trying to do this with a workaround of setting up several check boxes, but this seems awkward. Would be very curious to know if you have this in the plans, thanks! I use this default value extensively in single-select, so could really make use of it in Multi-Select. Thanks guys! ---

Hi! I would love to be able to add “default value” to any type of field. Like **due date** would be “today” by default, up to me to change it.) This would make it more easy to reassign tasks in calendar as a lack of due date means you don’t see it in the calendar view. In the same idea **Project progress** would be “not yet started by default”. What do you guys think? @mdubakov ? 🙂 ---

Can we set a default value in a number field in notion now? ---

Hi! There is no way to set the default value for any Type of Fields except Single-Select/Multi-Select fields. But you can set a formula, that will calculate definition based on different conditions. ---
