Force a selection in drop down.

    Right now, it seems that the first option listed for dropdown is the default option.
    How can I make it so they the user must select something other than the default value?

    Right now I have:

    Select Coach name
    Coach Steve
    Coach John
    Coach Mike

    I'd like "Select coach Name" to be displayed, but I'd like the actual selectable values be any of "Coach Steve, John Or Mike" but not "Select Coach Name"

    Does this make sense? Can I do this?

    You do this by turning on the value option on the drop down and then giving the first option in the list a label of "Select a Coach" (or whatever you want) but leaving it's value blank. Then set the field to required.

    See this screenshot which shows the proper configuration:

    Since "Select Coach" has no value, it won't pass the required field validation.
