We do plan on updating this later on so it can work the way you described.</p> <p>If you're simply using it for yes/no values, a radio (multiple choice) field would work well too. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/drop-down-require-any-choice-but-first#post-7423 Wed, 14 Jul 2010 21:21:19 +0000 spidercreations 7423@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I've got a yes/no drop down, but instead of showing either yes or no as the default, I've got "Select..." as the first choice to indicate they should select choice two or three (yes or no).</p> <p>The field is required. Is there a way for the form to reject the "Select..." choice, or should I try a different approach?</p> <p>Steve </p>
