Default value of a custom field is not selected

Question

I can not explain following behavior.

We are using a plugin for importing and updating issue from a provider. There is a required custom field that is not populated while creating the issue (we need to check the plugin- but that is another question) .

So here is the question. I have now an issue where I have an empty field (Severity) which by field configuration is required and also has a default value (Normal). If I edit the issue there is immediately a value displayed in that field (Blocker). Can someone explain why 'Blocker' appears in that field and not the default value 'Normal'?

Thanks,

Udo

No I don't. One more thing I just found out. Blocker is obviosly picked because it's the first of the options. But still the question remains why the default is not selected.

You don't have any scripts attached to that field (e.g. behaviours, JS)?
