Come together with the global Drupal community in Rotterdam, 28 Sept – 1 Oct 2026. Sessions, contribution, connection, and Early Bird savings until 8 June.When you create a text field (multiple rows) for any content type and under Default value for Text Formats you select any custom filter of yours besides Full HTML, it doesn't save and resets back to Full HTML.
Which means it's broken, because that's the whole point of default value? To have your format auto selected when creating the new node of that content type?

karthikkumarbodu commentedThis issue could not be reproduced. I tried selecting the custom Text format under the DEFAULT VALUEand on saving the field by clicking Save setting button i was able to save the text format with out any issues. I am attaching the screenshot to show the custom text format is selected on editing the field settings.

matas.k commentedMaybe your Test format is arranged to be at the top of the list at admin/config/content/formats?
Because I just installed fresh version of 7.50 to test it again and did it on Basic page content type for Body field and switched from Filtered to Full HTML, saved it and it reverted back to Filtered.

karthikkumarbodu commentedI tried to reproduce the issue as explained in the above comment, but i found the mistake you did in the configuration.
You tried to switch the Filtered to Full HTML for the DEFAULT VALUE and it was not reflecting as you are not providing any default value in the Text Area.
