Havenā€™t had a chance to look at this yet but I have a question. Iā€™m using a few dropdowns to filter RGS and after youā€™ve changed the selection and changed it back to no selection the placeholder text disappears. Itā€™s a minor nuisance but if this fixes that problem then thatā€™ll be great. ---

Is there a way to have a dynamic list but also a ā€œno selectionā€ option that can be replaced with text. I need this for my use case. ---

I need this for my use case. you can define a dynamic list using Bubble experssion, then hit enter and on the next line write something like this is a disabled option --disable so that would appear in the list but wonā€™t be clickable/selectable is that what you meant? **Levon Terteryan** Founder @ Zeroqode & Bubblewits [letā€™s stay in touch on twitter!](https://twitter.com/levon377) [![zeroqode-for-web-160x120](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/c/6/c6688372752f4234938c3c4d11fbfa761509eb1f.png)](https://zeroqode.com) [Bubble Templates](https://zeroqode.com) [Bubble Plugins](https://zeroqode.com/plugins) [Bubble Courses](https://zeroqode.com/courses) [Convert Web to iOS & Android](https://zeroqode.com/native) [No-code Development Services](https://bubblewits.com) ---

The placeholder is what Iā€™m looking for. Since the options in the dropdown would be to filter a repeating group there needs to be a way to go back to having nothing selected in the drop down so that the repeating group is no longer being filtered. The problem with the standard dropdown is that when you select ā€œnothingā€ (assuming dropdown must not be empty isnā€™t checked) the placeholder disappears, which is a bit weird. ---

We have just pushed a fix with placeholder and made sure placeholder appears back when the dropdown value gets cleared. you can give it a try here: > **[Bubble Editor - plugindemo](https://bubble.io/page?type=page&name=custom_drop_down&id=plugindemo&tab=tabs-1)** > > Build stuff without code and launch a startup without a tech-cofounder!

Placeholder only shows up when static choices are written in. When you use a dynamic list it auto-populates a default value and going back to the placeholder isnā€™t an option. ---

While I see this being a great addition and it looks great! US$7 (AU$10) a month for a drop down element is crazy!! Can you imagine if we had to pay for customised drop downs, radio buttons, and other elements just to get a bootstrap feel, we would be paying more than US$50 a month just for the basics! ---
