I have a filter of product category (taxonomy term) as drop down,
and
I have a top most category with name (ALL), and all other categories are child of it.

I want to make this category (ALL) selected by default on load.

Please help me to, how could we make a category selected in taxonomy filter in a drop down field?

Toolset doesn't have an option to provide a default value for a Views search filter (you might want to use the form at https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/ to suggest it).

The only way for this to work is if the link to the page where you insert your View includes the URL parameter that the View uses for the product category filter.

So when you link to the page the link might look something like this:

<em><u>hidden link</u></em>
