 * I added a select field that is required. In this field there are several dropdown
   options for the end user, for some reason the first option is always populated
   in the dropdown when I would like it to say something like “Please Select Your
   Options” and if they do not, then the required field would not validate. This
   would then force the user to select the correct option and keep validation.

 * Hello,
 * with the plugin’s 1.6 version there is an “Add empty option” checkbox within 
   the custom input field’s option on the right side of the screen. With the “Add
   empty option” ticked the select will be properly validated on the checkout page.
