Answer 1

Use the value attribute to set the selected item:

<g:select name="user.company.id"
from="${Company.list()}"
value="${user?.company.id}"
optionKey="id" />

Why not use g:countrySelect tag? This will save One whole Domain.

This really should be a comment instead of an answer, but I'm voting it up because it's useful and relevant. – Guitarist

interesting. I have never see g:XXXSelect before. could you point me to where this is documented? Also need to be able to specify which is the "selected" item. – Schnabel

Answer 3

Use the select tag structure provided by mpccolorado, then to have Canada selected by default change the value to:

value="2"

(the Id for Canada).
