In the new version, however, default values are now entered in clear text.
As I discovered in document libraries after migrated from SPS2003 to MOSS 2007, You will be prompted by a dialog box stating "The default value for a Choice column must be chosen from amongst the specified choices.



In this case, you would need to enter the text "Final" instead of the index 0 (zero).
