How to Set a Default Date When Using a Date Field in a LookerStudio Control

[mochie]

Hello, I have a question regarding LookerStudio as mentioned in the title.

## Background:
- The data source has a field called "target_month," which contains monthly data as shown below:
- 2024-01-01
- 2024-02-01
- 2024-03-01
- 2024-04-01
- ...
- The "Drop-down list" needs to be used in the Control.

## Issue:
- Even though I set a fixed value like "2024-03-01" as the "Default selection," it is not selected by default, and I can't figure out the cause.

## Question:
- Is there a way to make a fixed date selected by default when using the "Drop-down list"?
