Starting off progressive select with nothing shown in text box

See original GitHub issue

Is it possible to enhance a select and not have the first option shown in the text box? I don’t really want to have a blank option at the top, but that seems to be the only way unless I’m missing something (certainly possible!). I’ve tried calling enhanceSelectElement with defaultValue: '' but that doesn’t appear to change anything, the first option is still shown when the page is loaded.

Hello! 👋

I might be misunderstanding the issue here, but I think what you need is solved by using a null option.

Will close for now, but please reopen if that doesn’t solve your issue!

ah sorry yeh, I think this is by design, in the sense that if the original select couldn’t be submitted blank, the enhanced autocomplete can’t either. I think the workaround of an initial blank value is probably correct as that’s how you’d achieve this experience with a default select.
