hello

I would like pre-fill drop down single select field with "Please choose..." instead to keep empty the field. It seem is not possible because any value I enter inside "Pre-filled default value at registration only" result in displaying the first value option set.

I noticed users often forgot to choose an option because is not always evident to see the select field must be clicked for choose something. Even if my field is "required" is always better to maximize the comfort during registration process for avoid to must re-submit the form because something is missing.

any clue ?

thank

I use Joomla 3.3.6 - CB 2.0.4 - CBSubs 4 - Several Incubator plugins

I know you can with API, but I don't think you can when creating fields from backend. Best I can suggest is to set the field as Required and it'll at least give them a registration error. Note in most cases users probably are simply not completing the field, because it's not required so they don't have to.
