Add "hint text" to "select" field type in form?

Is this possible?  In a lot of form field types, rather than a field label, you can add hint text withing the field.  I'm hoping that this is also possible with a "select" field type.  Is it?  Is there a workaround?

Thanks,
Dave

    Hi David,

    To customize the default display value of a select field, choose that field in the form editor, click Edit values, then change the default value "Select..." to whatever text you want to appear by default.  In my example, I have changed the Company Name default value to "Select Your Company"
