Making the default setting on a field blank.

I'm building a form that includes a "State" field. When I test, the default value is AK, but I would prefer that the field be blank. I don't see how to  make that happen in the Form Designer. Thanks in advance for the help.

The safest option is set a "dummy" value for the first element of a dropdown such as - Please Select -
That is the array element 0 in most programming languages.

There is also an extra benefit : you can enforce that field to be required or not.
