Issue

The default value for Dropdown and Multiple Select attributes is not saved correctly in the database; instead of updating the default value, the new value is appended to the old one, separated by a comma.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Login to the backend, go to Stores > Attributes > Product.

  2. Click Add New Attribute.

  3. In the Properties tab, set the following:

    • Default Label: test
    • Catalog Input Type for Store Owner: Multiple Select
    • Manage Options: Add two options without selecting Is Default.

  4. Click Save Attribute.

  5. Check in the databasse that the default_value column is empty.

    select attribute_code, default_value from eav_attribute where attribute_code = 'test';

  6. Go back and set one of the two options as Is Default.

  7. Check the database again to ensure that default_value now contains the selected option ID.

  8. Go back and change the default option by selecting the other option.

Expected results:

The new default value should replace the old value in the database.

Actual results:

Instead of replacing the default value with the new one, it appends the new value to the old value, separated by a comma.
