# Change Log

## Default Value in Auto-populated Select Menus

#### Sep 22, 2023

A new `default_values` field was added for user (`5`), role (`6`), mentionable (`7`), and channel (`8`) [select menu components](#DOCS_INTERACTIONS_MESSAGE_COMPONENTS/select-menus). `default_values` is a list of [default value objects](#DOCS_INTERACTIONS_MESSAGE_COMPONENTS/select-menu-object-select-default-value-structure), which each include an `id` (the snowflake value for the resource), as well as a corresponding `type` (either `"user"`, `"role"`, or `"channel"`).

The string select menu (type `3`) is the *only* select type that allows (and *requires*) apps to define the `options` that appear in the dropdown list. The other 4 select menu components (users, roles, mentionables, and channels) are auto-populated with options corresponding to the resource type—similar to [command option types](#DOCS_INTERACTIONS_APPLICATION_COMMANDS/application-command-object-application-command-option-type).

In addition to the `values` array in all [select menu interaction payloads](#DOCS_INTERACTIONS_MESSAGE_COMPONENTS/select-menu-object-select-menu-interaction), auto-populated select menu components (users, roles, mentionables, and channels) also include an additional [`resolved` object](#DOCS_INTERACTIONS_MESSAGE_COMPONENTS/select-menu-object-select-menu-resolved-object) that provides additional details about the user's selected resource.

\* The author object follows the structure of the user object, but is only a valid user in the case where the message is generated by a user or bot user. If the message is generated by a webhook, the author object corresponds to the webhook's id, username, and avatar. You can tell if a message is generated by a webhook by checking for the `webhook_id` on the message object.
