If your copy of Gravity Forms is up-to-date you can enable the use of values for your drop down and leave the value blank for the instructional option to ensure that a valid value is still required. </p> <p>Example field setup: <a href="http://grab.by/88mI" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/88mI</a><br /> Example error if valid option is not selected: <a href="http://grab.by/88n6" rel="nofollow">http://grab.by/88n6</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/drop-down#post-15222 Thu, 30 Dec 2010 17:07:30 +0000 Hedonfire1 15222@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Where do I put that code to set the value of the first entry.</p> <p>Currently I have all of my drop down boxes empty and this does not look right on the form.</p> <p>It needs to have a "Please Select" or something similar to let the user know that there are options to choose from. By putting that in manually as the first option it makes it so that the field is no longer required. </p> <p>Please help.</p> <p>Thanks! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/drop-down#post-5626 Thu, 20 May 2010 08:49:05 +0000 Lee Hord 5626@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You can have jQuery set the value of the first entry in your drop down.</p> <p><code>$(&#39;#input_id option:eq(0)&#39;).val(&#39;&#39;)</code></p> <p>This will set a null value for the first entry in the select. Just replace "input_id" with your drop down id. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/drop-down#post-3878 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 07:43:05 +0000 Alex76 3878@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>That would be great to have this option in the future!

We will adding some additional options for that soon. For now, you can leave the first choice blank and the the validation will work properly. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/drop-down#post-2670 Wed, 13 Jan 2010 02:36:39 +0000 bruceo 2670@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Is there a way to assign a dummy null value for the first entry so that the user must actually select a value. So the dropdown initially shows no value or "choose" as placeholder descriptive text then the dropdown reveals the selections to be chosen? </p>
