Hi,
I am trying to set placeholder text default in a select dropdown Field. Currently, it is showing --not set--. I need to display the word "Province" instead of --not set--.

I have a few fields with a select dropdown that I need to set custom placeholder text stating the function of the fields as the site I am building does not have labels for fields so the placeholder text is very important.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

Can you please share temporary admin login details, along with the link to a page where this select dropdown field can be seen?

I'll be in a better position to suggest you the next steps, accordingly.

Note: Your next reply will be private and please make a complete backup copy, before sharing the access details.

Thank you for sharing these details and I apologize for the delay in getting back on this.

To customize the placeholder text for the select type field in the form, you can include the "select_text" attribute:
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred_field )

For example:

[cred_field field='postal_address_cont' force_type='field' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' select_text='Select Province']

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.
