 You can also set the ``required`` status of the input select list. This defaults
 to ``false``.
+
+At the moment, it does not seem possible to prefill the field with a selected value simply using the block property.
+There is a property called `defaultValue` which currently doesn't seems to work.
+
+To prefill the select value, embed the reference block within a form block. 
+The form's incoming data must contain the selected value, while the form’s configuration takes the options list from a predefined list in the context. 
+The list must follow a specific data structure, as shown below.
