I have created a Select field to place on a User Profile with a list of countries, and would like to have it default to United States, as most of my users are in the USA.

The documentation is not clear on what to put in the Default Value field for the Select item.

For example, in my Choices area, I have:

us : United States

For the Default Value, I have put in:

us : United States

However, when I go to create a new user in WordPress, the default is still the first item in the Choices list, which is af : Afghanistan.

The Field is not required, allows null, does not allow multiple values.
