How do I set a default for a many2many field? Like Routes on a Product?

Question

When I create a product, I would like the following Routes to be selected by default:

When I use the SET DEFAULTS Menu in Developer Mode, Routes does not show up.
Is there another way to set these three options as defaults?

Hi,
Activate the developer mode and navigate to *Settings -> Technical -> Actions -> User Defined Defaults* , and add a new record here like below.

Select the field Routes, technical name: route_ids and in Default Value (JSON format) you have to add coma separated list with ID's of route that you need to set as default value.

To Get the ID of the routes, you can go to the Routes menu from *Inventory -> Configuration -> Warehouse Management -> Routes*
*
*
Then* *open the record to get the ID,

*Yes.*
I just tested this with Version 13 and 14:

The first step is to determine the ID's of each of the Routes.  Open each up and look in the URL to see the ID:

Another way is to add the ID field to the List View so you can see the ID's you would need for these three.  Note that ID's are specific to each database:

Then, make a default record directly from the *User-defined Defaults* Menu:

Each time you create a Product, all three Routes will be selected:
