Empty Selection for Multiple Recipients Field?

Please replace the ??? with your data!


[desc]: Hey Oliver, excellent product! I am using your multiple recipients selection field to send a form to multiple admin emails, and I would like to know if it is possible to have an empty "default" selection with no email. The reason is because I think a lot of people will overlook the "send to" field and click Submit without choosing to whom they'd like to send the form. This could potentially result in the first person listed in the dropdown getting unwanted email.

 Is it possible to set the first to empty, say "--" or "Choose recipient"? Then I could make the field required so a person must choose a recipient before the form will send.

 Thanks!

Sincerely,

Ryan

I'm trying to figure out how to accomplish this too.  I'm trying to figure out how I can test if the value of "Multiple Select" is "null" or something like that, and if so, prompt with a form validation error.  I understand i'll probably need a dummy email address in the list to cover this case.  Thanks for the great tool!

It should be on your HELP page, e.g.

SendTo#please pick|-#Pete#Joe#Sue

and make the above field 'required'.
