The part I was missing was showing the values. This now works exactly as I wanted it to. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-text-of-data-placeholder-in-chosen-enhanced-ui-drop-down-field#post-134167 Mon, 28 Jan 2013 14:45:16 +0000 Chris Hajer 134167@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>"Select an Option" will appear only if you do not have a placeholder as your first drop down option. Add a drop down option of "Choose a Country" as your first selection option, then be sure to check the box to "enable values" and clear out the value. That will ensure that the form can't be submitted with "Choose a Country" as their selection. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/change-text-of-data-placeholder-in-chosen-enhanced-ui-drop-down-field#post-127567 Mon, 21 Jan 2013 11:12:09 +0000 Brian 127567@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>How can I change the placeholder text in a drop down field that's using the Chosen enhanced user interface? I am using this for a country selection field. I'd like to change the default text "Select an Option" to "Choose a Country." My site is not yet live, so I can't post a URL. But what I am looking for is exactly what is shown on Harvest's GitHub page for Chosen, in the enhanced Standard Select field. See <a href="http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/" rel="nofollow">http://harvesthq.github.com/chosen/</a>. Thanks! </p>
