default required field "selec"

hello,
I want to create a field 'selec' that assigns value 1 when the user registers. Later it is the admin that can assign value 2, value 3...
It seems easy:
default value = 1
required= YES
to see in profile = NO
I title in profile = NO
searchable = NO
only read for the user = YES
show in refistration = NO
published = YES
size = 0

but it does not work:
The value that loads for default is = empty
Which is the solution?

Thank you.

The initial value only works if field is shown during registration.

You can perhaps hide it using css.

Or you can use CB Auto Actions (see tutorials) to do this.

Thanks for your advice, I will study it,

but also have found an easy solution to my matter:
to use as the value of field 'empty'!
