Info |

This functionality works differently in Confluence Cloud. |
Open the macro and point to the Filters' Default Values button and then click it. Select the appropriate value for the current dropdown filter.
You can set multiple default values for each drop-down filter. You can delete the added default values by clicking the Close icon available on each value.
If you are using Table Filter on Confluence Cloud, you need to enumerate one default value per each column and separate these values with a comma. You can use no default value for some column, just add an additional comma.
