The other values should be auto-filled based on the label text. Make sure the field itself is marked as required and that's all there is to it. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/drop-down-list-default-value-and-error-checking#post-48566 Tue, 07 Feb 2012 13:18:33 +0000 Duplika 48566@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'd like to know this as well. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/drop-down-list-default-value-and-error-checking#post-47406 Thu, 26 Jan 2012 02:44:25 +0000 martung 47406@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This should be simple but yet I still don't know how to do it within GF settings.</p> <p>I'm using a drop-down list with 3 values, but I want to set the default value as 'Select One' and throws error when a user doesn't select other values (Required field). Is this possible to set on the GF settings? If I have to do it from the PHP that'd be fine too.</p> <p>Thanks in advance.</p> <p>Regards,<br /> Martin </p>
