Just assign the default value to the field to which the drop-down list box is bound.

I.e. if you bind the drop-down to my:field1, and you want the default value in a list of colors to be "Red", then make sure my:field1 is pre-populated with the value "Red". The drop-down will do the right thing.

Is there any way of defining a default value when using a Drop Down List which is fed from external data - when filling in the list manually you can define which item in the list is default - generally Select...
