I have created custom data type based on built-in dropdown list, but cannot figure out how to specify default value for the list. The default value is always blank:

Look at: FieldType.DropDownList in the fieldTypes folder.

Replace:<option value=""></option>

With:

var settings = Model.AdditionalSettings; <option value="">@settings["DefaultValue"]</option>

Then ensure you set the default value property in your dropdown list in the Umbraco Forms backoffice for the given form
