>Description:
There is currently no way to specify input defaults for the 
multi-enumerated-in-file field type. Currently, it uses the first value of the 
associated admin file as default, in the same way as enumerated-in-file does. 
This is a problem, since multi-enumerated-in-file by its very nature should be 
able to have more than one default value.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
multi-enumerated-in-file should get a "default" dbconfig keyword, like 
multienum has, where you could supply a legally separated string of values 
which would then become the field default.
