I think I&amp;#39;d probably just add a helper field, true/false, that is set to true once the status has been selected, and then add a custom validation rule on the status field that if the field is blank, and the helper field is true, there is a validation error. Does that make sense?</description></item><item><title>InfoPath Rule to run when Dropdown value is blank</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/106486.aspx</link><pubDate>Sun, 08 May 2016 15:14:23 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:106486</guid><dc:creator>aspire27</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/106486.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=43&amp;PostID=106486</wfw:commentRss><description>I have a list with InfoPath 2010 and Designer 2013 running on it.

Within the form, I have a dropdown control called Status, which by default is blank, and has the following values: Requested, Forwarded and Received.

What I&amp;#39;m trying to accomplish is if a user changes the Status to any of the dropdown values, then the user cannot change it back to blank. Any assistance would be appreciated.</description></item></channel></rss>
