 * Hello,
 * in my sign up form I have a select field. My problem is that this field is required,
   but if the user complete just the others required fields ignoring this one, I’ll
   have the same first value for many user which didn’t opened the selected. What
   I want is to add a disabled text in the select with something like Choose your
   nation.
 * Am I missing something?

 * Hey [@francescag](https://wordpress.org/support/users/francescag/),
 * So sorry we missed this thread. Doesn’t look like we received the notification.
   Happy to help out with some more information here though. Unfortunately there’s
   no way to change the display of those fields directly within the plugin. Whatever
   options are available will be displayed in that order for folks signing up for
   the list.
 * While there’s no way to change this within the List Subscribe Form plugin an 
   option would be to create an additional field option for the field which is blank.
   Ensuring that the blank field is the first selectable option would have folks
   that did not fill the field out reported as that blank option. You could then
   follow up with any users that have the blank option asking them to update their
   profile.
 * For some more help with that it would be best to reach out to the MailChimp accounts
   support team since that would require setting things up directly in the MailChimp
   app. Information on getting in touch with them can be found here – MailChimp

 * Hope you’re having a great holiday season!
