I have a Form Select node that I would like to default to one of the selection options rather than having a placeholder such as **Select an option…** - is this possible?

Not currently with the built-in component, perhaps a custom component would solve this for you…

OK; maybe it could be added to the feature request list?

No doubt a custom component could solve it but I don’t want to go down that route. 🙂

Good news, we’re fixed this up for the next build ☺ You’ll be able to customise the default!
