# Picklist Default Value

 * I have added a new field with standard picklist option. According to instructions“
   Value:” is supposed to be default input value on the form field. This does not
   appear to work. “Value:” information does not appear on web page form. Currently
   default is first item on Options List. I also want to make the field mandatory–
   user needs to make an active selection. Currently user does not need to make 
   any selection – form automatically selects first option even when “required” 
   in form creation is selected. This removes the compulsory nature of the form 
   field requirement.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fpicklist-default-value%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Either add a blank item as the first option to force them to choose something(
   see the FAQ for examples) or choose a default value that is in the option list.
 * _The plugin can not submit a default value that is **not** in the available options._
