I have a choice field that allows multiple selections (checkboxes). It does not present me with a Default Value option and I cannot set the value as a Rule. In my SharePoint column itself, I have the default value set but it will not apply to the form.

 

Is there any way to give a multi-select choice field a default value?

Hi @HeidiV 

If you are using the Classic Form, its possible using some JavaScript code. Search the forum for any solution from @MegaJerk who has overcome many Form limitations by using JavaScript. Furthermore @MegaJerk explanation is terrific. Have a look at one example below  

 

If you are using the New Responsive Form, sorry but its impossible. 
The Form Rules doesn’t allow users to make a choice item selected or unselected.

 

@HeidiV if you still need help, perhaps you should make a new thread
