Answers.Text: Yes, concur that if there is a default value being loaded in a Profile, then it will be coming from the Custom Field, rather than a setting in the Profile Field itself.

Body: <p>I have an <a href="https://onw.yobc.org/application/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">application form</a> for students wishing to sign up for an audition. Our student records contain a custom "standing" field to indicate whether they are active (current students), inactive (past students/alumni), or applicants. This field does not appear in the application form, however when the form is submitted the records default to "active." I must have set it up when I created the profile, but can no longer remember or find where to change it. Any help on how I can change the profile to default to "applicant" on this form? </p>
