Add "- Please Select -" to a required CCK field In Drupal 6, by default, a required CCK field will display the first allowed value.
I want it displays "- Please Select -": Is there an easy way to do this?

I do not want to save "- Please Select -" in the database.
Use the key|label format for allowed values:

|-Please Select -
1|option1
2|option2
3|option3


By making the key for "-Please Select -" an empty string, the form can't be submitted with this value.
