Sharepoint Metadata - New default value is not being used
I contacted Microsoft support and they said:
Also check it in Library Settings > General Settings > Column default value settings.
Click on desired Column name and set Use this default value.So apparently you need to change the "Default Value" in two places. In the general library settings and in the specific column settings.
Has no one else had this issue? Do I have to reboot my sharepoint site somehow?
Microsoft tech support has suggested that I re-index my document library. https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Manually-request-crawling-and-re-indexing-of-a-site-a-library-or-a-list-9afa977d-39de-4321-b4ca-8c7c7e6d264e
I have done it but it has not helped so far.

- Bizarre, but hey, that's SharePoint sometimes. Thanks for this. Worked for me after much head scratching.
