Hello @kobokurd,
If you are using KoBo’s own form builder, you can choose the Settings button near the question, and write the value of your answer as default.
And if you are using excel to create forms, you can add a column labeled “default”.
You can find detailed explanation in here: Using the Question Options — KoBoToolbox documentation
Take care.

Indeed @kobokurd,
Make sure you use the “XML Value” not the “Label”
Please note that the XML Values are on the right side of your choices, instead of space between words, there are underscores.

Hi @kobokurd,
Can you provide a screenshot shows the answers with both their labes and xml values can be seen?
Let’s take a look to that.

Hello @kobokurd;
Can you use UNHCR_Tents for the Default Response?
Let’s see if that solves the issue.
