Set the default option to enum constant string
It's a bit odd to have default options checked for a SelectMany control. If something needs to be checked maybe you can combine your SelectionFactory decoration with [Required]?

In terms of funcitonality in the code behind, I could get the option set to the 'Option1' and is working fine, but in the CMS I don't see that option checked. Is there anyway in CMS we can make the option checked?

It's working when I set the default value in the settings of property in Admin mode. I was expecting the code written to set the default value should automatically be picked up without any explicit setting.

I have a string property which allows user to select multiple enum options. I want to set the default option to 'Option1' for the string property.
Property allows multiple selections of the Enum but I want the default option to be set for 'Option1'
