Placeholder option is not working with optgroup

See original GitHub issue

The placeholder item is not visible when used together with optgroup. (Tested with version 3.0.2)

This isn’t working (Select Value is not visible in the dropdown)

<select>
  <option value placeholder>Select Value</option>
  <optgroup label="Group 1">
    <option value="1">One</option>
    <option value="2">Two</option>
  </optgroup>
  <optgroup label="Group 2">
    <option value="3">Three</option>
    <option value="4">Four</option>
  </optgroup>
</select>

Here is a fiddle reproducing the bug.

Hey - looks like this is more just an issue of having a combination of standalone options alongside option groups. Looks like standalone options are ignored when the Choices detects groups.

Let me investigate.

@jshjohnson Any word on this? I’m trying to do the same thing, with a placeholder value that isn’t appearing ahead of <optgroup>
