    Hello,

    It would be great if we could personalize the first option “—” (= include_blank) of dropdown menus. I am waiting for it since years…

    Currently we have to add a lot of code in the function.php and.. this is REALLY boring and a waste of time. It could be so simple!

    We should be available to do something like that:

    [select* food id:food include_blank:"Please select a fruit" "Apple" "Pinneapple" "Orange"]

    Which means that the “—” are replaced by “Please select a fruit” and has an empty value.

    Thanks you for you great plugin.

  • Posted a possible solution via php filter about 3 years ago, not sure if this works also with current CF7 version. Would recommend to move the actual function outside of the filter function as described in a follow-up there…

    Oh, I remember your post! It helps me a lot in all my projects.

    But it would be simplier for all (and our clients!) if the author of the plugin add this little option… :/

    Not so hard to implement, could help a lot of people.

    Use the first_as_label option.

    [select* food id:food first_as_label "Please select a fruit" "Apple" "Pinneapple" "Orange"]

    Oooooh! This is exactly what we were looking for!!!

    But why this option is not available when we create a new dropdown?

    <select name="food" class="wpcf7-form-control wpcf7-select wpcf7-validates-as-required" id="food" aria-required="true" aria-invalid="false">
<option value="">Please select a fruit</option><option value="Apple">Apple</option>
<option value="Pinneapple">Pinneapple</option>
<option value="Orange">Orange</option>
</select>

    Thanks you a lot !!!
