    This is a long-standing issue with the order of evaluation of parameters. Bound lists cannot have a default value, because the system does not know which value could be valid until it runs the sql - which will happen later in the loading process.

    What you can do is execute a dashboard extender during the dashboard load, which will set a value in the parameter (aka "custom substitution variable").
