Hello Abhinay

it worked fine and instead of none   ,, how to replace the none with select , if I entered default value as select , it is showing in the choice field , I rather want   choice field default value as select and options as a or b or c when its mandatory it should not allow the user unless he select some choice

What do you mean by select? You want a choice to be labelled Select instead of None?

Yes

Well in that case, you need to uncheck the checkbox include none and create a new choice Select. Then you need to have a onSubmit client script which validates if the choice field is filled or not. Your onSubmit client will look like this

function onSubmit() {

  if(g_form.getValue('your choice variable name')=='your slecet choice value'){

  alert("please select an option");

  return false;

  }

}
