My suggestion is:</p> <p>(1) Make this a FAQ so many people like me don't have to hunt for the solution for quite a while. :)</p> <p>(2) Have an option to have a value preselected or else the default is that a "please select" option is present. It's the way it's always done and it shouldn't have to be set up this way manually which can take a very long time if you're using the states or a long list.... Thanks for this! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/disable-first-line-in-dropdown#post-30298 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 14:48:15 +0000 Carl Hancock 30298@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Yes, to create a placeholder you would enable values and leave it's value blank. Then set the field to required. This will make it so the user has to select a value because the placeholder value won't be valid. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/disable-first-line-in-dropdown#post-30276 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 11:45:00 +0000 dodonest 30276@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Perfecto! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/disable-first-line-in-dropdown#post-30275 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 11:43:59 +0000 Fred Romano 30275@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>that may work! let us know... </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/disable-first-line-in-dropdown#post-30273 Mon, 18 Jul 2011 11:40:56 +0000 dodonest 30273@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I answered my own question...
