Sample Data not reflecting Default Value (Field Properties, Numeric-Currency)

I am entering a default value, but the sample data is not reporting and when viewing outside of Field Properties, shows blank. I have this function working on two other similar fields, but this one refuses to update. If I can provide any more information, please let me know. 

 

  • The default value will populate when new records are being created. 

    If you need to initialize existing records you can:

    1. Run a List All Report and use the find and replace option
    2. Do a Grid Edit
    3. Change change it to a formula field with a formula of 75 and then change it back to a regular numeric field.  Option three has the advantage that it does not change the [Last Modified by] or the [Date Modified] fields.
