Hey Soukayna,

What is the end result here, just to not have the empty option?

The select box is being populated by the options.   What is in data.contacts?

If you try the widget and save a record with that blank option and look at the XML of the new record what does the field show? Is it truly a blank?   Is there a sys_id with no display value?

Let us know and we can try and help you further!

Best,

Andrew

I believe this happens because your ng-model (data.currentContract) is currently empty.

See this:

Why does AngularJS include an empty option in select? - Stack Overflow

The empty option is generated when a value referenced by ng-model doesn't exist in a set of options passed to ng-options. This happens to prevent accidental model selection: AngularJS can see that the initial model is either undefined or not in the set of options and don't want to decide model value on its own.

In short: the empty option means that no valid model is selected (by valid I mean: from the set of options). You need to select a valid model value to get rid of this empty option.
