If you make the field required, that blank value will not pass validation, and the visitor will be required to make a selection before they can successfully submit the form. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/make-a-dropdown-option-not-a-viable-option-when-the-field-is-required#post-141340 Mon, 04 Feb 2013 08:35:19 +0000 Josh 141340@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I am using dropdown's for a required choice.</p> <p>My first choice is... 'Please select option' ...then my following choices are my relavant options.</p> <p>The question is, because my field is required, is there a way to make my first field a non viable option to stop the form being submitted when 'Please select option' is the selected option?</p> <p>Thanks </p>
