Negative required value

  1. Is there a way to make it ignore one of the values in a dropdown box? Say my default value is - 'Select Year', I want the form to give user an error if they haven't selected the actual year, right now even though the field is required, the form will not give any error because of default selected value - 'Select Year'.

  2. Yes, edit that Drop Down field, check the "Enable Values" checkbox about the drop down choices list. For the "Select Year" choice, remove the value and leave the value blank for that choice. Then make the field required.

    If a drop down uses values and has a blank value, it won't validate when the required field rule is checked.
