I have a question in my registration process that is a drop down. The default shows up as – please select – Can I change the default to one of the answer options? |
With Event Espresso 4 the only options in the drop-down should be your answers, here is an example: http://www.screencast.com/t/p404Qo9rOOe The first item in the drop-down will be the default answer. You can arrange the order of the questions with the up/down arrows. |

This is not the case. Here is a screenshot of my dropdown question Here is my registration page where you’ll see the default option is |

FYI We are on EE 4.2.5 |
Ah, I see. Sorry about the confusion. I was testing with an upcoming version (4.6), which has this change. I see that in 4.4 that the “please select” is the first option. Let me ask around about any options to change that in 4.4, but I do expect that in the next month 4.6 should be available and it will be change in 4.6 core. |

Great thank you Garth. |

Any update on this? Can you just not do it? |
|
Before this is marked as resolved can someone just confirm that you can’t do this? Seems like it should be within the feature set.. |
Hi David, Any version before 4.6 will display the ‘- please select -‘ for the default dropdown value. There is no filter to currently allow you to remove that value within those versions. 4.6+ removes that option and displayed only the values assigned within the question. |

I’ve succesfully used jQuery to prepopulate checkboxes in forms, perhaps the same could be done for dropdowns? |
