With CMS filter I want to pre select one of the radio button filters that is created from a collection list of categories. Is this possible?

Hey Aaron,

This can be done using the custom fields Name=checked Value=Checked

@brian this approach would be great if the radios were not in a collection list.

@aaron you can preselect filters using query params or some custom code. Let me know what are you comfortable with and I’ll help you 🙂

Thanks @Support-Luis and @brian

I think custom code would be the best way to go because I need to always show that first option selected no matter where the user is coming from.
