    Blank Top Row in Filtered Selection List from Secondary Data Source

    How to I get a selection list from a secondary data source to ignore the blank row at the top of the list? I am working with a people picker. When the user enters the search name, many possibilities are returned as expected. But the user sees just the blank top row of and then never clicks the box to see that there truly are many more below. Is there a way to display the second row (search result #1) instead of the blank top row in the selection box? Thanks for any help!

    I believe you would need to set a default value on the control. Have you tried that?

    I may be showing by relative ignorance... The search results are displayed in a drop-down list box, with the secondary data source providing the list box entries. I don't see where you can set a default value?

    You need to do this in the Data Source Task Pane if the field uses a dropdown control. Right click the field in the task pane and select Properties. There you can set your default value.
