thank you for the video, the crd96_name is not working for me, if I add that record, the dropdown menu doesn't show any value

[magnusjeppesen]

Great tip, that solves something I've scratched my head about several times :)
You would then need to do some logic, that ensures "Select..." is not a value that's 'saveable' to your actual data, right?

This is a great option. The only issue I am having is the user accidentally selecting “Select…” and then submitting the form to a single line of text. Any suggestions to avoid this?

Thanks Chino, was a great video. Could you please show how we can do the same in model driven power apps.
