How is Default Value defined?

I have a Content Type of Nodeprofile with a Taxonomy Field LocationCountry so that the user selects the Country where he lives (the taxonomy is a limited list of countries).

I have another content type that the Taxonomy Field LocationCountry also uses. And I want that the Default value is the one that the user defined in his Nodeprofiles Taxonomy Field LocationCountry.

How am I able to make this?

For Taxonomy Field (active select) maybe:

 return array(array('value' => $myvar));  or
 return array(array('tid' => $myvar));   or
 return array('option' => array('value' => $myvar));  or
 return array(0 => array('value' => $myvar));

and anything works me. I hope somebody gives me an example of like it should be the syntax.
Thank you

I solved this problem by returning an array of this form:

// for example, if I want tid 44 as the default:
return array(array(44 => 44));

This seems contrary to the description presented by cck:

array(0 => array('value' => value for value),
...
);

so I don't know if this is a bug in content taxonomy or not. I traced the problem all the way to the content_taxonomy_options_widget() function, where it calls array_keys to get the value, rather than looking for an array element "value"...

This worked for me:

global $user;
return array(
0 => array('value' => $user->mail)
);

I can vouch for jhedstrom's post in #3... can we get the help text changed to reflect reality? :)

Just to let documented (because this one was giving me pain to be found),

The PHP Code Default Value that works with CT Autocomplete field widget is

return array (array ($TID => taxonomy_get_term($TID)));
