Iā€™m trying to have my default value as blank for a drop down in order to get accurate data but I have to select one of the values. Can anybody assist? Currently the first option is being selected by most as people are just choosing to skip this question I would assume. Thanks in advance šŸ˜„ ---

If you configure the placeholder setting on the fields appearance settings panel, that will prevent the browser defaulting to the first real choice. ---
