Notes
Because the value in this field are restricted to the semi-colon delimited list in the Values field, the Allow Empty field has a slightly different behaviour than usual:
- If Allow Empty is checked, the first item listed in the Values list will be the default value for the field.
- If Allow Empty is not checked, the user cannot save the form without selecting a value other than the first item in the list. The first item should be either a space followed by a semi-colon (if you want the field to start out blank) or an instruction to the user such as -----Select One-----; Please choose; or similar.
