You are missing the value= attribute. Below is an example that also shows the noSelection option for when the value is null.

            <g:select id="initialOutcome" name="initialOutcome.id" optionKey="id" from="${OutcomeDescription.findAll())}"
                  value="${outcome?.initialOutcome?.id}" noSelection="['':'-Select-']" class="form-control" title="Initial Outcome" required=""/>
