Hello everybody, I have a non-mandatory dropdown that has a placeholder set at the time of loading. If I select the empty option, the placeholder is no longer visible and the user does not understand what that control refers to. How can I solve? ![Immagine 2022-11-10 155511](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/9/6/9614edd4a5f37b3c136e0d40d9b1fe2924f5dc2c.png) ---

Hi @anyverse, You can set event in your workflows, “An input vaslue is changed” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/c/5/c50434e8315dc01aee832ad4b5bb92b18d119c5f.png) Then check if this dropdown value is empty and do the action “Reset relevant inputs” ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/bubble/original/3X/1/e/1ed57db2035509668424bd126c8bd3e61b98ae87.png) This works good for me. ---
