Hi there!
Maybe this is usefull for someone:
My users often ignore to select an option from a dropdown that I populate via the advanced featrue. becuase the first option is already there. I could simply validate for this first option, but what if they actually selected it? And my options a re even entirley customised by the users in another list.
So I introduced a "Please select" with the value of 0 at the top of the list that makes it easy to validate.
