First_as_Label Not working for Drop-down Menu

The first_as_label or Placeholder in the select field or drop-down menu is not working in contact form 7 recent update.

When we put first_as_label in the select field, it is showing as the first value in the contact form, and when selected and submitted it is not validating and giving error.

Initially, first_as_label was working as a placeholder & not as a value. But now it is showing as value and users are able to submit that as a value.

Even placeholder is also not working in the drop-down menu, which initially was.

Here is the piece of code:

<div class="field">[select* workex first_as_label "Work Experience (in years)" "No work experience" "1" "2" "3" "4" "5" "6" "7" "8" "9" "10" "11" "12" "13" "14" "15" "16" "17" "18" "19" "20" "21" "22" "23" "24" "25" "More than 25years" ]</div></td></tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<div class="field">[select* Ctc first_as_label "Annual Compensation (USD)" "Not working currently" "Upto 15,000 USD" "15,000 - 25,000 USD" "25,000 - 50,000 USD" "50,000 - 75,000 USD" "75,000 - 100,000 USD" "1,00,000 - 1,50,000 USD" "1,50,000 - 2,00,000 USD" "2,00,000 - 3,50,000 USD" "3,50,000+ USD" ]</div>
