From this issue on Github, I tried the following in one of my BelongsTo relationship,

BelongsTo::make('countries')
    ->withMeta([
        'belongsToId' => 1 // default value for the select
    ]);

.. and it worked perfectly.

You want to make sure that the value will be set correctly when editing so use the following code:

BelongsTo::make('countries')
    ->withMeta([
        'belongsToId' => $this->countries_id ?? 1 // default value for the select
    ]);
