Hi,
an html select list element doesn't have a placeholder, this setting can only be applied to text inputs. If you try to set a default preselected value, you need to set it at the configuration field "Preferences->default'' instead.

And if you want something like 'select here your value' as the first option to be shown, then you have to include it together with the rest of the valid options. The first option value introduced will always be the value preselected at the field, so you can set it before 'January' option to see it at the top..

Hope this helps, regards

Hi,
the select input fields have always a value selected, so if you want to create a validation of 'field required' that won't allow the first option, you can configure the field like this:
- Check the field as 'required' at form fields configuration
- Set a specific value for the option with the caption (for example: novalid). So your options configuration will be something like

--Select value-- novalid
Januari(31 Hari) 31
Februari(28 Hari) 28
....etc


- At the js tab 'executed on loaded page', place this line:

CB("option").attr("value","");

This will give the options 'novalid' an empty value, so the validation 'required' will fail for them.

Hope this helps, kind regards
