I have a form with a required dropdown field. It allows the user to choose a blank field at the top of list. There is no blank field in my list. Has anyone else had this issue?
OK, I really didn't do anything except review the field values, but it is working as it should. Yay!
Do you mean a blank field in addition to the "no selection" type default for a select/drop down?
A screenshot of the field settings would be helpful so we can see exactly how the list options are configured and everything.
It is the No Selection, I believe as I don't have a blank value in my list. I thought being required would require a value not a no selection.
The "no selection" option will always be available, likely to avoid the confusion that could result from default to the first option, but if it is set as a required field it "should" flag the input as invalid unless one of your options is selected, which will prevent the form from being submitted.
EDIT: I see, are you running version 9.2? If so, then that post would definitely explain things!
The issue is, it is not requiring them to choose an option and allowing the form to be submitted with no value.
No, I am 10.2.1, I forgot we had upgraded forms :-)
Then that is odd. Does it show the "Invalid" message under the field and ignores it, or it doesn't show it at all?
