How to add placeholder text to Dropdown in Component

[Tessa_learner1]

Hi Team, 
I'm creating a component with dropdown value. There I've added 2 values in dropdown from that one value is always selected. But I don't want that, I just want my dropdown empty when I add component to page. So is there a way I can add placeholder text or default value other than my original values ?? Form resource type is : granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select

Thanks!

Hi @Tessa_learner1 ,

You can add a "default" option (placeholder text) and set the selected property for it, this can work as a placeholder when the dropdown is displayed.

Please check this thread for implementation details.

Hi,

The property called emptyText to add placeholder text, e.g.

emptyText = "Placeholder text..."
