Research direction
Start at Account → Register → Custom Fields and reproduce the example configuration from the issue in Rocket.Chat 5.2.0. Trace how the select field chooses its initial value and compare defaultValue with the options order. Done means the registration form shows “student” as the default rather than the first option, with the behavior covered by an appropriate test.
