 * Hello All,
 * Posting this here so everyone can see this issue…
 * In Ninja Forms a List field is configured as a Dropdown. I would like to force
   users to make a selection different than the first choice.
 * Is this possible?
 * Currently I have the field set to required but I don’t think that does anything
   as the first field is already selected.

 * Resolved by this from Ninja Forms;
 * You need to check the “Show List Values” option and leave the first items value
   blank but give the other items a value. These can match the item label if you
   want but they can’t be empty. Only the first one should be empty. That should
   do exactly what you are looking for.
