+# Fix the initial values of form variables related to selectboxes components.
+#
+# Due to a bug in the JSON parser, some of the form variable initial value don't match with
+# their respective component default values. This bug is mostly an issue for selectboxes components.
+# The problem in the JSON parser has been fixed, so new and updated forms won't have this issue.
+#
+# This script automatically fixes all initial values of the selectboxes component form variables.
+# Related to ticket: https://github.com/open-formulieren/open-forms/issues/4810
