Overview:
Setting a default value on the Delivery_Method_vod__c picklist does not work. When creating a Medical Inquiry record this field is not defaulting to the value selected on the picklist.
Root Cause:
Record type picklist definitions override object-level picklist definitions.
Solution:
Change the default picklist values for the appropriate record type. The default values specified on the record type are enforced over the standard field default values.
