Profile Fields: Select Box Default Value

Multi-Vendor Questions
1

I want to add a select box dropdown for customers to select on checkout. If I make this required, the select box just defaults to the first item on list. How do I make the default value unselected or blank, which is the way it is supposed to work for required fields?

I need to make customers pick an item on the list instead of letting it default to the first value.

Thanks for anyone who can help me!

I finally received a reply from CS-Cart Support. Their solution, which works for me, is this:

In the Administration panel, go to Design → Templates, open your Theme, then go to templates/views/checkout/components/profile_fields, and open the field.tpl file.

After that, find the following code:

{if $field.required == "YesNo::NO"|enum}

--
{/if}
And replace this piece of code or comment out the IF statement like this:
{* {if $field.required == "YesNo::NO"|enum} *}
--
{* {/if} *}
CS-Cart does not think this is a bug. Personally, I think a required select box should require the user to pick an option. At least they helped me fix it so that it works the way it should.
