creating a placeholder on drop down lists on profiles

Hi,

If you add a field to the registration profile which is a drop-down list and you would like the first item to be ‘Please select an option’ *and* you mark the field as required, users do not have to do anything.

They are not forced to ‘select an option’.

This is because when generating the HTML <option> code, a value is placed there. If, instead, the value was set to “”, then this feature code work.

Look through the code, there is already the notion of ‘is default’. I have a patch which adds the notion of ‘is placeholder’.

Is this wanted in the core?

Thanks,
Anand

Please add the patch to the ticket so that core devs can decide if they want it.

@haykayltduk check through tickets if you haven’t as there was one a while back on issues with setting default select options or something to do with that aspect of profile fields.
