The default value set up in the form creation not working consistently

The default value set up in the form creation does not always populate cell when new rows added.

Multiple grid columns in a single record have dropdown list columns using "N/A" as default value set up in the form creation, unless of course another value is selected. When the new row adds, some columns have blank cells without "N/A" and some other columns do populate "N/A" in the same new row when added. I have them configured identically but for value list. I see no reason they should operate differently. Seriously confused.

Why some and not others? I just deciphered it is only the columns that are utilized in the form based on a positive logic condition! They remain blank when not invoked. Not even default value "N/A".

So that tells me, I think, that somehow the logic associated form columns, do not take on a default value function when adding rows through a form? They remain blank?

Is there a workaround?
