Adding a "blank" selection for drop-down menus under list items.

[Former Community Member]

A lot of people on this form are accidentally selecting items that shouldn't be selected and need to be able to change the drop down menu back to blank if they have made a mistake and selected a wrong drop down item in the wrong area.

Please help,

Thanks!

Add an item to your Dropdown list with Blank as text and some value to it.

When you want to rest to blank, just simply set the rawValue to the value against the blank text.

For example if I add a blank text and assign a value "1" to it.

Then in the code I may use like below to rest it to Blank Text.

     DropDown1.rawValue ="1";

Gotcha,

But I want thier to be No text, so I don't want the literal text "Blank" to show.

See if this sample helps..To test it, select any value from the Dropdown and click the "Reset" button.

You can not add a blank as an item to Dropdown. So I placed one space using the Space bar while adding items to the Dropdown.
