Automatically select the selection fields in new pop up form with Context default_fieldname

Question

I want to convert the record from CRM Leads to another model (Admission). I have created a button type=object to call the function:

 def convert_to_admission(self, arg):
    return {
        'name': 'custom_admission_form',
        'view_type': 'form',
        'view_mode': 'tree',
        'views': [(view_id, 'form')],
        'res_model': 'op.admission',
        'view_id': view_id,
        'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
        'res_id': self.id,
        'target': 'new',
        'context': {
            'default_street': value['street'],
            'default_street2': value['street2'],
            'default_mobile': value['phone'],
            'default_birth_date': value['dob'],
            'default_city': value['city'],
            'default_state_id': value['state'],
            'default_country_id': value['country'],
            'default_first_name': value['first_name'],
            'default_last_name': value['last_name'],
            'default_email': value['email'],
            'default_gender': value['gender'],
            'default_prev_institute_id': 'baktuk',
            'default_family_income': value['family_income'],
        },
    }

I can see the view form pop up with automatically filled record (first_name & last name); is it's possible to make it preselect the selection fields like country_id,gender, etc.?

To store in selection field grab value of database entry:

See the below example:-

eft_status = fields.Selection([
    ('pending', 'Pending'),
    ('done', 'Done')], string="EFT Status", default='pending')

In this tuple ('pending', 'Pending') > first one is the value which is stored in database and second one is the string which you can show in dropdown list of field.

So, most probably you can to select value is to grab something like this:-

'default_eft_status': 'pending'

This will select Pending Selection value from eft_status.

Feel free to ask if you can't understand.
