 * Hello [@janwill](https://wordpress.org/support/users/janwill/),
 * Please try adding an asterisk after the form tag type, this way:
 * `[select* dropdown-menu include_blank "First option" "Second option"]`
 * Please read [Checkboxes, radio buttons, and menus](https://contactform7.com/checkboxes-radio-buttons-and-menus/)
   to learn more.
 * Best regards,
    Yordan.
