I want there to be nothing selected. The form will not allow that.

The "please select" option is the closest thing as it adds an entry that isn't a state and with the required option turned on, it forces the user to select something else. And on top of that, you can even change that text with a translation override if you want it to be empty. It's not possible to not have one of the values of the dropdown selected in a dropdown in HTML. Otherwise, what you can do is trick the browser with such JS code: [ stackoverflow.com/a/8605567/6390007](http://stackoverflow.com/a/8605567/6390007) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzItZ2VuZXJhbC10YWxrLWFib3V0LWhpa2FzaG9wLzg4ODEzOS1jYW4tdGhlLWFkZHJlc3Mtc3RhdGUtcG9wdXAtYmUtc2V0LXRvLWhhdmUtbm8tZGVmYXVsdD90bXBsPW1hcmtkb3du) or [Create an account](/register) to join the conversation. - **[esotechie](/forum/user/7143-esotechie "View esotechie's Profile")** - [![esotechie's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar7143.jpg)](/forum/user/7143-esotechie "View esotechie's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/7143-esotechie) Less More - Posts: 180 - Thank you received: 13 - - - - [](http://www.halare.co.uk/) - 9 years 9 months ago [\#259422](#259422) by [esotechie](/forum/user/7143-esotechie "View esotechie's Profile") Replied by *[esotechie](/forum/user/7143-esotechie "View esotechie's Profile")* on topic *[Can the address\_state popup be set to have No Default](/forum/2-general-talk-about-hikashop/888139-can-the-address-state-popup-be-set-to-have-no-default#259422 "-- HikaShop version -- : Business 2.6.4 [1610260900] -- Joomla version -- : 3.6.4 Stable -- PHP version -- : 7.0.3 Hi It seems very odd to have a default for the state in the address.

I assumed the preview showed what it would look like with that option and did not test it out with the front-end.
