Hi,

Our client is using LF 10.1 RIO with Forms.

The starting form is a long LF form and has several drop-down fields which are set as required. These are supported by DB look-up and stored procedures, all in all 10 Rules are in place. 

When we open the form using it's URL randomly but regularly it auto scrolls to the first drop-down field and displays the error as below.

Has anyone faced a similar problem and how did you end up solving this issue?

Hello,

If there are pre-defined options in drop-down configuration, you can select the default option for drop-down by clicking the number under 'Choices' section. Selected option will be indicated with highlight on the number. 

If all options in drop-down are generated by lookup, you might want custom javascript to select the first option in the drop-down.

I encountered the same issue, but I didn't want to default any entries as I needed to ensure that the users completed the fields themselves rather than risking them submitting the forms with the default entry.  A workaround you could try would be to set the default to "*Please Enter*" then add either rules or script to prevent the form being completed/submitted if the selection is left on *Please Enter*.
