On the website people can select members (coaches) by choosing name, skills etc. Also by province.
I see the dropdown with all the provinces, but i want to start with 'Select provice' as first option.

Because when people only want to filter by skill they HAVE to choose a province. I do'nt want that. If they dont select a province he have to show the members (coaches) from all provinces.

I use this in my view with the select_text:

<div class="form-group">
	<label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Provincie[/wpml-string]</label>
	[wpv-control-postmeta field="wpcf-provincie" url_param="wpv-wpcf-provincie" select_text='Kies een provincie']</div>

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - the correct attribute to use is default_label

Could you please try to use the following code and try to resolve your issue:

<div class="form-group">
    <label>[wpml-string context="wpv-views"]Provincie[/wpml-string]</label>
    [wpv-control-postmeta field="wpcf-provincie" url_param="wpv-wpcf-provincie" default_label='Kies een provincie']</div>
