Drop Down Form Question

In order to do what you want to do we are going to start over.

- Delete your country field
- Add a new drop down field to your form
- Edit this drop down field
- Click the Bulk Add/Predefined Choices button
- Select Countries from the left hand pane of the Bulk Add window
- Countries will appear in the right hand pane, you can edit this information and move United States to the top by removing it from where it is, and adding it as the first item. Now also add your placeholder above United States (ex. Select A Country or whatever you want to use).
- You should end up with something that looks like this: http://grab.by/8nsE
- Now click the Update Choices button

Now your drop down should be populated with the countries with United States at the top and your place holder as the first item. Now let's set it so that placeholder isn't allowable.

In order for this to work you have to set this field as Required, otherwise validation won't be triggered.

- Check the "enable values" checkbox next to Choices
- Remove the value for "Select A Country" or whatever your placeholder is called so it has no value.
- Check the "Required" checkbox under Rules
- You should end up with field settings that look like this: http://grab.by/8nsP
- Save your form
