We have a People or Group SharePoint field which allow single selection named Manager>> and to be able to set its default value to be equal to a selected user's Manager, we had to modify the DefaultSelectedItems property as follow:-

but per my knowledge, if the People or Group SharePoint field allow single selection, then we should use the Default property instead of the DefaultSelectedItems.. but seems this is not the case.. any advice?

Thanks

For a combo box you always use DefaultSeletedItems property to set the default value. The old "Default" property is still there but isn't used and the combo box documentation only references the DefaultSeletedItems property.
