How to make "Blank" as default option in a "dropdown without none" having reference specification.

[Divi]

Hi all,

Wanted to set the field "state" with blank as an option using the "drop down without none" (for eg: in incident table state field).Tried to modify in the dictionary of state, setting the default value as empty but still it is displaying none as an option.Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The issue you need to deal with is this.  The system automatically requires a replacement value for a mandatory field if the choice options are specified as dropdown with none and it is showing --none--.  To do what you want  try creating a row in the referenced table where there is nothing in the display column.  I can't guarantee that will work.

As an alternative, create a value in your reference table like "not a value" and make that the default.  You could enter an actual blank too.  Create an On Load client script that checks the value in your type field for that string and when found clear out that field which will change the asterisk on that field to red.

Hope that helps.
