Select box

[Pavan rishi]

I created a select box variable in record producer ,and I want the default text (which is not answer for the question) value to be visible but not included in the dropdown options. How can I achieve this?

Hi @Pavan rishi

Try bellow onLoad client script once:

function onLoad() {
   // Get the select box variable by its name (replace 'select_variable_name' with your variable name)
   var selectBox = g_form.getControl('select_variable_name');

   // Create a new option for the default text
   var defaultOption = document.createElement("option");
   defaultOption.text = "Please select an option"; // The default text you want to show
   defaultOption.value = ""; // Ensure the value is empty or invalid

   // Insert the default option at the top
   selectBox.add(defaultOption, selectBox.options[0]);

   // Make sure it's selected by default
   selectBox.selectedIndex = 0;

   // Make the default option non-selectable
   selectBox.options[0].disabled = true;
}

I hope my answer helps you to resolve your issue, if yes please mark my answer helpful and correct.

thank you
