Default Form Value For Dynamic Enum

I’ve created a form property that is using a dynamic enum type. The dynamic enum is populated from a map. The dropdown works, however I can’t seem to figure out how to have a default value. Is it possible to have a default value when using a dynamicenum? I’ve attached my form config.

I just gave it a try with a test workflow and it worked fine for me (without required True).

Be mindful that the default value should the one of the keys in your map and not the value .e.g

def chris = [:]
chris["CandID"] = "Candidate"
execution.setVariable("chris",chris)

In the above example, the default value would need to be set as “CandID” and not “Candidate”

I think you need to set the “required” property to true if you want the default to be taken into account.
Another possibility is to set the variable in a script task before the user task

execution.setVariable("status", "Candidate")

I tried setting the field to required but still no luck. I also tried setting the status variable in a prior script with no luck.
