Blank Value as the first item in dropdown

[ganeshk]

I wanted to add a blank value to a list as the first item and make it a Required field. I followed what is mentioned in » How to add a blank (NULL) value as the first value of a dropdown list | Blog Archive | SugarCRM Knowledge Base.
Basically added '+' and made the field required. However the forms still allow me to save data with blank values in the dropdown. Can someone help. I am using community edition 5.0.0

You can add empty option on dropdown through Dropdown Editor on Studio.
In order to make a field required you can add the attribute displayParams on field def at editviewdefs.php:

 'displayParams' => array(
  'required' => true,
), 
  

Cheers
