Hi
I have a dropdown list on my contacts page.
I then set the list to mandatory.

However I have a problem.
If you don't select anything from the list, it defaults to the first item on the list and you can send it.
What I need it to do is force someone to open the list and select an item from that list.
Also I can't get that list to say please select unless I make that the first item on the list.

Any ideas?

Hi,

Unfortunately there is no possibility to force the user to open the dropdown, you can only set it as the required field.

So you have a form but can't make the drop down mandatory?

Really?

Any way around this?

Can I make a radio button list mandatory instead?
