To set 1 as a Default value of a dropdown in a form

Hi Appies,
I have โ€œStockโ€ table with โ€œProductsโ€ and โ€œUnitsโ€ columns.
From detail view of โ€œProductsโ€ when I click on +, it takes me to edit a form.
In this form I update Units to 5 and next time when I open the form It show 5. Here, what I am trying to do is, to set 1 as a default value, when I open the form next time.

So far, what I have tried is:
from Data section > โ€œStockโ€ table > column view > edit column โ€œUnitsโ€, under this I found (Initial value - The default starting value for this column) and I updated 1. Unfortunately it still shows as 5.

The Initial value expression is only applied when a row is first added. If you want the expression applied every time the row is edited, enable Reset on edit? for that column.

Great, it works with the โ€œForm Viewโ€. When I am in โ€œDetail Viewโ€ it still shows as 5.

In โ€œDetail Viewโ€, I have added a โ€œBehaviorโ€ that save the input to another google sheet, as I have opted โ€œForm Viewโ€ edit as โ€œDo not displayโ€. Is there a way, to show default value as 1 in โ€œDetail Viewโ€, so I may increase and decrease with the behavior.
