    I have a series of dropdowns (select) that are set to be required, but when the user clicks ‘Send’ there is an error message stating:
    “One or more fields have an error. Please check and try again.”

    but there are no validation messages below the Select dropdowns. How to fix?

    Has this been resolved? I am having the same problem, the dropdown menus on my form does not give an error message when users left it blank, even when you put [select* ….].

    You can add ‘first_as_label’ option , so first option will not be considered as selected.
    And then the validation message will be displayed.
    Ex : [select* state class:form-control first_as_label class:inputbox class:state “State” “Iowa” “Kansas” “Texas” ]
