Hello,

Thanks for the details, I have tried it in my localhost, it works fine, I can see the new post submitted by Toolset form can setup the default value of select field correctly.

So the problem you mentioned above is abnormal, please check these:
1) Make sure you are using the latest version of Toolset plugins, you can download them here:
https://toolset.com/account/downloads/

2) In case it is a compatibility problem, please deactivate all other plugins, and switch to wordpress default theme 2020, and test again

3) Also check if there is any PHP/JS error in your website:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/debugging-sites-built-with-toolset/

4) If the problem still persists, please provide database dump file(ZIP file) of your website, also point out the problem page URL and form URL, I need to test and debug it in my localhost, thanks

I can see the problem in my localhost, the problem is Toolset Forms does not submit the field value of "stato-pratica", so it stores an empty value in database, as a workaround, you can add a hidden field before the field "stato-pratica", for example, edit the post form "Modulo per Pratiche":
hidden link
in section "Form Editor", just before these line:

      <div class="form-group">
          <label>Stato Pratica</label>

Insert below hidden generic field:

[cred_generic_field type='hidden' field='wpcf-stato-pratica']
{
"default":"Nuova",
"persist": 1
}
[/cred_generic_field]

I have treid it with your duplicator package, it works fine.
