I have two CRED post forms using similar fields. For the Create Artist Profile form, the drop down defaults to "- Select -" and works as expected. (You have to be logged in to see this form.

For the Create Organization Profile form, the drop down defaults to the first value in the taxonomy. I've copied the same field data and am using the same taxonomy (shared by both post types), so I can't understand why it doesn't default to " - Select - " as well.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please check with your form in edit form for the form where select option works. There must be custom JS added to add select option for your taxonomy, you should add the same to your another form.

If you do not get please send me admin access details and I would be happy to check the issue further.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

Can you please check now: hidden link

To your form's JS box I've added the following custom JS code:

jQuery(document).ready(function($) {
    jQuery("select[name='iowa-county[]']").prepend('<option value="">- Select -</option>');
    jQuery("select[name='iowa-county[]']")[0].selectedIndex = 0;
    jQuery("select[name='iowa-county[]']").attr("required","");
});
