Choice field not keeping default value

[Shiraz2]

I am having an issue that I can't figure out.

I have about 20 choice fields that has 6 Choice each. Pass, Fail, Blocked, Incomplete, In Progress and No Run. When creating this field I set the following:

1. Choice type - Drop-down without none

2. Default value - No Run

I am having the following issues

Fields 1 - 7 and 11 - 15 displays the Default Value of No Run - And the actual default value is 'No Run'

Fields 8 - 10 displays Pass as the default value even though the actual default value is 'No Run'. Even if I change it any other value, it still shows 'Pass'

Any assistance appreciated.

There is no script that is setting this value?

None targeting these fields.

Oops.

My Testing was flawed. Explanation:

The Default is set when a new record is created. So when I was performing my testing, I was testing the existing records which were created with different Default Value. My mistake was that for testing purposes, I should have created new records with the new Default Values.

This confusion is due to the fact that those 20 Choice Fields are NOT always visible on the form, one has to click Add New, to display those fields. Not realizing that the fields although not visible, are still a part of that old record.
