    Is the a way to disable to disable the first line in the dropdown so users have to select option 2 or 3?

    Dropdown Example:
    --Select One-- -->(Not included and forced to select yes or no)
    Yes
    No

    Is there a way to keep the text in there like --Select One--?

    Surely leaving a blank line and making it a required field would tell them that they would have to pick yes or no?

    I answered my own question... I think?

    Enable values then keep the label --Select One-- with an empty value

    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.

    This is very complicated. My suggestion is:

    (1) Make this a FAQ so many people like me don't have to hunt for the solution for quite a while. :)

    (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!
