I’m sorry but if you can’t give me more informations / more context, like what is the `included account types` fields type, or what have you already done, I can’t help you solve your problem.

You give me a screen related to your configuration, but it is not relevant to your first screen.  
Your first screen seem to show a `dropdown` widget and the second a configuration related to `JSON`.

I dont really understand. That’s why I want you to fill in context informations to enable me checking what happen. 🙏

Hi @Nilesh_Shirsat 👋 thank you for your informations.

After a rapid check, I have a small question, can you confirm about `included account types` field is related to a smart action form?

_included account types_ is related to **Add Account Types** smart action form and few others.  
It is of [Enum] type.

Unfortunately you can’t configure default assigned widget on smart action form field yet.  
I’m gonna push your request in our product board.  
Thank again to your feedback. 🙏

Hello,  
I’m updating this thread to let you know that now you can now define specific widgets for your form values, when using nodejs, ruby php or python agent  
Here is the [documentation](https://docs.forestadmin.com/developer-guide-agents-nodejs/agent-customization/actions/forms-widgets) for nodejs.
