I am trying to put several forms to a miscellanies type so that I don't need to create too many post types and just categorize them with taxonomies, I guess I can populate a particular value instead of taxonomy select boxes or dropdowns in the front-end, so, when a user submits a form, the post will be automatically archived according to the populate vale, I just use css hide the taxonomy selector in the front end. how can I populate it based the shortcode below? Thank you!

[cred_field field='teaching-cate' force_type='taxonomy' output='bootstrap' display='checkbox']
      [cred_field field="teaching-cate_add_new" taxonomy="teaching-cate" type="add_new"]

Hello,

You can setup some custom JS codes to populate the default value, for example:

jQuery(document).on('cred_form_ready', function(){
	jQuery('input[value="123"]').attr('checked', 'checked');
});

Please replace 123 with the specific term's ID. and test again
