Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted January 23, 201510 yr So I created a custom field select box called Country of Origin for people to fill in when they registerI added a couple of countries but realized there is no way to make sure people have selected a countryIf for example the first option is blank or says Select Your Country then when they submit their registration the registration will automatically pick the first optionThere needs to be a BLANK option that forces a choice in a drop down otherwise many of those custom fields are going to be automatically filled with the first optionUnless I missed the proper way to do this...
January 23, 201510 yr Author i guess I could leave the first field blank but I would rather there was an option when creating the custom field to force selecting one that is not empty.Comments?

I don't think it's an issue with your custom field. It's the field type. This is happening on IPS4, in a list fields. You can see on tracker: Also happens on my app: The first value always comes selected.
