Can we add new value to standard picklist field and set it Default?
I want to add value-"Open" on standard Picklist field "Status" available on standard Object. And also want to set it as Default. I tried doing it but no Luck. Please assist
Greetings to you!
Default values are not available for some picklists. You can set a default value on custom picklist field but not on the standard picklist field. You can use URL hacks, Visualforce page overrides, workflows, triggers, etc.

Hi AK Singh, based on your requirement, I carried out an Experiment on Lead Status and Status (Standard Picklist) field from Lead and Case (Standard) object and turns out that we can add a new value to the picklist and even assign them as a default value.
In Lead Status picklist field, we can assign 'Open' as Default Value while creating it.
Whereas in Status picklist of Case object, we go to 'Reorder' and there within we can assign 'Open' as Default Value.
Hope this answer from both the scenarios helps you.
