Hi Balaji,

Go to Type Specifications tab and mark Do not select first choice field.

It will work out.

This DID work! Amazing. Is this a relatively new option? I am on Fuji and I don't remember this option being available before.

Hi Chadlockwood,

It is available in Eureka also. I am also not sure since when it is available.

Good morning.

        It is not a new option, sometimes we have to change our view in order to find things. I am on Eureka and my item was defaulted to the "Legacy" view, when I changed my view to the "Default" view is when I would see the Type specification tab, followed by the additional options.

I had come across this requirement where the customer insisted on keeping both the options unselected as they had in their previous system.

For this variable, I have set the default value to be something other than the actual values.

For ex. if the variable has two options "Add" (value = add) and "Remove" (value = remove), I would set the default value to be something other than "add" and "remove", say, "noSelection".

This is just a workaround and I know it is not optimal.
