Default parameter from variable
I have a KW test that takes in a parameter
I can pass a variable from the Execution Plan, can I set a variable as a default value?
Forum Discussion
The parameter input will be URL 1, 2 or 3 (from a variable)
I can insert the var in the execution plan and all is good
but I would like the default/fallback value to be URL3
can I do this, I don't appear to have the option to input this here
Now I can see what you are trying to do.
That looks like something you should ask Support about. Seems like there ought to be a variable choice in there as well.
Here's the support link

a ticket has already been opened I will update the community once they reply
Still waiting for TC to answer but it looks like this is not possible.
You can either
- pass in a variable to a NON OPTIONAL parameter
- test for an empty parameter and assign it a variable

Parameter default value
Optional Specifies whether the parameter is optional, that is, if it can be omitted when the test is called from another test. Optional parameters must have a default value. Optional parameters always follow the required parameters in the parameter list and cannot be mixed with them. So, if a parameter is optional, all the subsequent parameters must also be optional.
